Different Noises

This show includes some fascinating new releases from contemporary artists combined with previously unavailable older live material from some of the legends of Jazz. To close the show a vintage live performance David Murray from 1977.

Featured artists are : Out Of/Into, Ivo Perelman's  São Paulo Creative 4, Emily Remler, Miles Davis Quintet, Sun Ra, Cedric Hanriot, Alain Bédard Auguste Quartet, 

An eclectic mix of new and old material with a selection which reflects music that is perhaps more under the radar than usual. There are some familiar faces mixed with more obscure and relatively unknown artists.

Featuring music from:

The Legless Crabs

A mixed bag of new releases features a variety of line-ups and includes some newly discovered live music from Joe Henderson, McCoy Tyner, Jack DeJohnette, and Henry Grimes. In this playlist there is jazz in the conventional sense alongside some fascinating new approaches to the music.

A new box set celebrating the early “(I’m) Stranded” recordings of pioneering Australian band The Saints is the centrepiece of this show. With founder member Ed Kuepper touring Australia with a 2024 version of the band this is a timely reminder of the long-lasting impact of this ground-breaking group. On the rest of the show the usual mix of noisy stuff, experimental, and modern composition with a continued look at a series of recent albums that have caught my ear.  

All new releases this time. A couple of releases each from the excellent Gauci Music and Giant Step Arts labels. There is an abundance of fresh talent coupled with some more established players playing in new combinations.

On this show a focus on a couple of musical acquaintances of mine - Tamsin Middleton aka Vice Vera (Mr Heart, AAAK, Liines) and Steve Simms-Luddington (Monkeys In Love, Royal Catastrophe) who is calling himself Russell for a series of multi-named releases. Also I have the brand new album from Dave Graney and Clare Moore   plus the new albums I have been featuring lately and also some selections from the archive to make the mix a little more eclectic.

This week I focus on a new release from the excellent Jazz In Britain label.  The Progress Box Set from Gordon Beck’s Gyroscope is a compilation of studio, live, radio and rehearsal session recordings from the tape archives of Ron Mathewson and Gordon. The release provides a chronological audio history of Gyroscope’s formation and development, indeed their ‘Progress’.  I am featuring three tracks from the release. In addition there is a selection of other new releases including three new albums from ECM. 

A lot of the music on this show is from Brisbane but in equal measure we travel the globe for a cross section of some of the best new Different Noises around. There is everything from indie pop, via post-rock, through improvisation to sludge metal. Variety is, of course, the spice of life. 

Newly discovered recordings from Oscar Peterson and Charlie Parker kick off a show packed with new releases. The show closes with a track from a new box set celebrating the work of bassist Scott La Faro.

Featuring music from

Oscar Peterson Quartet

As promised a couple of shows back I am featuring music from the new Snarski Brothers album amongst a raft of brand new releases.
