Let Spin at the Marsden Jazz Festival
Jez Nelson presents a performance given by British quartet Let Spin at the 2014 Marsden Jazz Festival in Yorkshire.
British quartet Let Spin perform at the 2014 Marsden Jazz Festival.
Fusing the bubbling post-jazz scenes of Manchester and London, Let Spin features some of the country's most exciting and progressive players. Saxophonist Chris Williams (also of Led Bib) leads alongside guitarist Moss Freed - uniting in melodies that flow from whistful ponderings to searing thrash. Former Acoustic Ladyland bassist Ruth Goller also lends her punk-jazz credentials to the sound with powerful gritty playing alongside James Maddren who cements the grooves at the kit (stepping in for the group's regular drummer Finlay Panter for this gig).
Here in concert at the Marsden Jazz Festival in West Yorkshire the band perform new and previously unrecorded material following up their self-titled debut album on Efpi Records.
Also in the programme, trombonist Sarah Gail Brand talks to one of the unsung heroes of the British improv scene, bassist John Edwards. Plus there's new music from American saxophonist Steve Coleman and a chance to hear live tracks recorded at the 2014 Willisau Festival with his Five Elements band.
Presenter: Jez Nelson
Producer: Miranda Hinkley and Chris Elcombe.
