BBC Radio 3 Freeness: Cheltenham Jazz Festival Preview
An exclusive new track by Cleveland Watkiss ahead of his festival performance, and a live recording of large ensemble Troyk-estra from the 2013 edition of Cheltenham Festival.
A solo piece for voice and electronics, Cleveland combines tape of American police brutality trials with soulful voice, crunching electronics and rhythmic beats.
Plus, a live recording of large ensemble Troyk-estra performing at the 2013 edition of the festival; Emma Kate Matthews recalls pre-pandemic travel via abstracted electronica, metallic clatter and low drones, whilst Rachel Musson’s dazzling solos flex through the uncertainty of the times.
Produced by Rebecca Gaskell
