On this show interpretations of Wayne Shorter’s landmark tune Nefertiti from a variety of musicians  and an exploration of the work of trumpeter Charles Tolliver

Nefertiti is a tune written by Wayne Shorter which provided the title track for the fourth album by Miles Davis's Second Great Quintet. The album is best probably known for the track, on which the horn section repeats the melody numerous times without individual solos while the rhythm section improvises underneath, reversing the traditional roles of the instruments. The tune would go on to be interpreted many different times by a variety of different jazz artists. I’ve selected some examples of the unique ways the original composition has been revisited

Charles Tolliver - an excellent trumpeter whose work seems to have gone under the radar - I've selected some examples from across his career.

On this show music from Died Pretty, Lee “Scratch” Perry, Subatomic Sound System, 2 Lost Souls, The Junta, Evidence of a Struggle, Bike, Stefano Panunzi, Julian Loida, The Nearlys, Legless Trials, The Dave Graney Show, The Pop Group, and The Melvins.

Featured on the show this week are new releases from Felipe Salles, Robin Nitram, Rudy Royston, Duncan Hopkins, Soft Machine, Mark Dresser, Xavier Charles & Eric Normand, Michael Formanek, Marc Ducret, and Pat Thomas with Chris Sharkey & Luke Reddin-Williams.

So this one is heavier and stranger than usual,  mostly due to the conjunction of various releases. In between the rock and grunge there is dub reggae, electronica, lo fi rock, ambient, avant-garde, guitar improv, and, plain weirdness. Featuring music from Datura, King Tubby and the Observer All Stars, Pauline Oliveros, Christopher Willes, Public Recordings, Melvins, The Veldt, Niney & The Observers, Lamp of the Universe, Jeff Gburek, Cyrus & Oz, Maximiliano Mas, Marcelo von Schulz, Juan Marco Litrica , Waswas, The Observer Band, Evidence of a Struggle, Roman Angelos & Scott Solter, Cat Room Box Bois, and Mothra.
