Highlights from Konfrontationen Festival

Jez Nelson presents highlights from Konfrontationen Festival in Austria featuring Fire! Orchestra and trumpeter Franz Hautzinger.
The Fire! Orchestra began life as a trio of bassist Johan Berthling, drummer Andreas Werliin, and saxophonist Mats Gustafsson (previously featured on Jazz on 3 with The Thing). Now expanded with the help of 20-ish kindred spirits from the Scandinavian scene, the full ensemble offers a powerhouse approach to the big band lineage, twisting large-scale textures with urgent grooves and an intrepid look into the avant-garde. Trumpeter Franz Hautzinger offers a more intimate take on free improvisation, exploring the full scope of his instrument in an international band featuring pianist John Tilbury, bassist Rozemarie Heggen and drummer Hamid Drake.
Presenter: Jez Nelson
Producer: Chris Elcombe.
