Archie Shepp

Corey Mwamba shares new music from Sara Schoenbeck and Ryoko Akama, plus the iconic Archie Shepp on his inspirations.

Corey Mwamba shares classic and contemporary improvised music. Legendary saxophonist and civil rights activist Archie Shepp joins the show to talk about artists that have inspired his approach to playing and improvising. He shares a beloved track and dear memories of learning from another stalwart of the music, Sonny Rollins.

The bassoonist Sara Schoenbeck’s latest offering is a series of spacious and melodic duo collaborations with artists such as Roscoe Mitchell and Nicole Mitchell. Paying homage to her relationship with these musicians and to her instrument, it captures her quest to find a musical language that includes and extends beyond Western traditions. Elsewhere in the programme, we hear the sparse and emotive compositional work of the Huddersfield based artist Ryoko Akama, who worked alongside the experimental musician Phillip Thomas - to whom the record is dedicated - to create rich soundscapes that stand as a testament to creating outside our comfort zones.
