Fuse throws light on expressive artists who release music with a 'no rules' attitude, drawing on inspirations that are genuine and heartfelt. It's jazz that likes to bump up against the edges, touching on a myriad of genres be they traditional folk, electronica, chamber music or rave. There is a focus on new releases from Europe, as well as, Africa, America and Asia, but always makes room for classics that are as relevant today as ever.
It's back to the business of upcoming releases with new music from Airelle Besson, District Five, ZENA and Black Flower. There are two jazz birthdays from British and Jamaican brass players and an unreleased composition from Kenny Wheeler performed by Dave Holland and Norma Winstone.
