A Mixtape from Irreversible Entanglements

Verity Sharp shares a mixtape from American free jazz collective Irreversible Entanglements.

鈥淢usic is the way we free ourselves and free others, the way we heal ourselves and heal others.鈥� ~ Keir Neuringer

Verity Sharp shares a mixtape from Irreversible Entanglements, an American free jazz collective 鈥渙rientated in liberation thought, mind and practice.鈥� Formed in 2015, the quintet鈥檚 sound has taken shape around the poetic and political vocal declamations of Camae Ayewa (aka Moor Mother), with improvised textures, irresistible grooves, and webs of melody bringing a playfulness and an urgency to the meanings and message of the lyrics. Following on from the release of Protect Your Light (the band鈥檚 fourth studio album, and their first on the legendary Impulse! Records) and looking forward to their London Jazz Festival appearance, their specially-created Late Junction mixtape offers spiritual jazz, New York salsa, Congolese rumba and birdsong from Panama. The band members all contributed tracks and suggestions, with trumpet-player Aquiles Navarro then shaping and sequencing the selections into a sonic journey. On the use of over-layering and overlapping in the mix, Navarro speaks of connecting cultures, languages, geographies and eras: 鈥淚t鈥檚 almost like a fiction of collaborations that never happened but that could have been beautiful!鈥�

Elsewhere in the show, 鈥渢urbo-folk鈥� anthems from Serbia, a new release from an icon of musique concr猫te, and a musical invitation to a Sunday in Bamako.
