Dulcet tones on a dulcitone

Corey Mwamba presents Adam Fairhall performing on a prepared dulcitone that evokes the sound of an African balafon. Plus, music from saxophonist Tim Hill's new quartet.

Corey Mwamba presents Adam Fairhall performing on a dulcitone, a keyboard instrument from the 19th century, which he prepares in a way that evokes the sound of an African balafon, played in a way that’s inspired by the fast repeating figures of Keith Tippett. Plus there’s music from Tim Hill’s new quartet based on the piano-less groups of Ornette Coleman and Anthony Braxton, and a track by bandleader Laura Cole with her octet Metamorphic.
