Ilan Volkov (conductor)
Ilan Volkov and friends celebrate milestones from the past 100 years of American jazz, starting with a sequence honouring the βDukeβ. Mary Lou Williamsβs Zodiac Suite from 1945 romps between boogie-woogie and dissonance in its response to astrological signs. The evening culminates in the work of a boundary-crossing visionary. From the south side of Chicago, multi-instrumentalist and self-styled βtrans-idiomatic composerβ Anthony Braxton has established himself as a composer whose imagination recognises no bounds.
