International Special
Jez Nelson previews the 2015 International Jazz Day with a performance from Wayne Horvitz's European Orchestra plus an exclusive from American trombonist Robin Eubanks.
Jazz on 3 looks ahead to International Jazz Day this week celebrating the depth and breadth of the music across the world - featuring a performance from Wayne Horvitz's pan-European orchestra.
As a key figure in New York's downtown scene, Wayne Horvitz rose to prominence in avant-garde circles playing with the likes of John Zorn and Bill Frisell before moving to Seattle and setting up the jazz funk sensation Zony Mash. Here, in concert with his European Orchestra, it's a focus on large ensemble writing that comes to the fore, with a 12-piece band that also features British players Alexander Hawkins (piano), Alex Ward (guitar and clarinet) as well as musicians from Italy, the Netherlands and Germany.
Also on the show, there's music from hard-hitting improvising saxophonist Peter Br?tzmann and his new transatlantic trio, French percussionist Edward Perraud, and new release selections from our correspondents in Japan and Australia, plus a new recording form American trombonist Robin Eubanks and his latest project, Mass Line Big Band.
Presenter: Jez Nelson
Producer: Chris Elcombe.
