Alaskan folk and brass from a bridge

Jennifer Lucy Allan takes the road less travelled through her collection, unearthing a wild performance by Don Cherry, Alaskan folk and a new work for brass recorded in a bridge.

Jennifer Lucy Allan has been taking this time at home to shine some light into the dark recesses of her music collection and has discovered some strange releases she had forgotten she owned. She takes a deep dive into the back catalogue of boundary-pushing French singer Brigitte Fontaine; selects a wild performance by the trumpeter Don Cherry with the late Krzysztof Penderecki; and pulls out a song of the sea from John Angaiak, a Yup’ik Eskimo folk singer from Alaska.

Elsewhere we feature new releases from computer music pioneer Maggi Payne; feral post-punk from Triple Negative, and an extract from composer and saxophonist Lea Bertucci’s new work for brass, recorded in the acoustic space inside the 440m Deutzer bridge in Koln, Germany, which spans the Rhine.

Produced by Alannah Chance.
