BBC Radio 3 Freeness: Tropical jazz meets Chicago post-rock

Playful polyrhythms mix with electronic samples: Rob Mazurek’s São Paulo Underground in a collaboration with Tupperwear, an electronic duo from Tenerife. 

Plus a historic recording from 1992 of The Dedication Orchestra, a 24-strong ensemble squeezed onto the tiny stage at the 100 Club in London to play music in tribute to the South African group The Blue Notes. And following our recent profile of the improvised music scene in Seoul, there’s new music from a duo called dal:um comprising Ha Suyean on gayageum and Hwang Hyeyoung on geomungo.
