Spirited free jazz and Nordic sea flutes

Late Junction

Available for 4 days

Verity Sharp presents her selections of new and adventurous sounds from left-field music-makers. On the bill: joyful and spirited free-jazz improvisations recorded live in the UK courtesy of Pat Thomas and XT, plus a romping sea flute and fiddle piece from Oslo. Elsewhere, Japanese musician Akhira Sano shares spatial sounds recorded in his grandparents' soon-to-be-demolished house. Plus, a near-dystopian song from the Alphabetical Four, whose bold 1930s sound merges gospel and jubilee traditions with blues and jazz. Produced by Cat Gough A Reduced Listening Production for BBC Radio 3
