BBC Radio 3 Freeness: Stretched Atmospheric Songs

Fourth Page, a quartet who make quietly intense music that combines fragments of jazz with experimental English folk, introduce their recent commission by Jazz South. Plus, there’s music from the soundtrack to a South African documentary about the 1976 student uprising from a group called SPAZA alongside a track from the new album by Leeds-based trio J Frisco that combines buzzy synths, soaring saxophone and feedback loops.
