Highlights from the 2015 Vision Festival
Highlights from the 2015 Vision Festival, held in Manhattan, New York City, with performances from Roscoe Mitchell and strings player Jason Kao Hwang's Sing House.
Highlights from the 2015 Vision Festival, held in Manhattan, New York City - a celebration of all things avant-garde and unconventional, which marks its 20th anniversary this year.
Standout performances include the premiere of Peak/Abyss, a new work by free jazz woodwinds player and Art Ensemble of Chicago co-founder, Roscoe Mitchell, featuring trumpeter Hugh Ragin, trombonist and percussionist Tyshawn Sorey, keyboardist Craig Taborn and drummer Kikanju Baku. The five men combine to thrilling effect, conjuring atonal soundscapes punctuated by gusts of frantic free-blowing.
Also in the programme is music from improvising violinist and viola-player Jason Kao Hwang and his Sing House quintet, plus insight into the festival from jazz critic, musician and poet Daniel Spicer who was in New York this year to watch it all unfold. He joins Jez Nelson in the studio.
