Join us as we hear Ken Vandermark and Don Cherry injecting analog synthesizers into free jazz via two just-released live recordings (Cherry’s reclaimed after 45 years buried in a vault). Plus the 50th anniversary of Cherry’s Relativity Suite album (starring Carla Bley) and Pierre Henry’s brainwave-driven contributions to an odd spectacle featuring dance, electronic music and cybernetic sculptures.
We celebrate John Corigliano’s 85th birthday with a little-known work that places him squarely in the Ives lineage, while double bass evangelist Bert Turetzky gets some 90th birthday love through one of his signature solo pieces. And we check out the latest recorded works by Salvatore Sciarrino, Christopher Fox, Anthony Cheung and Osvaldo Golijov (the latter channeling Schubert), plus new improv from Timuçin Şahin’s Flow State and the Timothy Daisy/Erez Dessel duo, as well as new fixed-media works by Perila and Langham Research Centre. Creative and improvised music with host Michael Schell.
