Contemporary Jazz and Improvisation
NOTES: Working closely to the brief - with Andy Park - largely due to the challenging nature of improvisation and the realisation of a production which has no/little form or structure:
- Jazz On Four 'Crossing Bridges' - six world renown guitarists of 'free-improvisation' including Ron Geesin, Keith Rowe, Fred Frith, Hans Reichel, John Russell, Brian Godding, recorded in studio. (TX 06/08/83)
- 'Hoarded Dreams' - a commissioned improvised work by jazz composer Graham Collier for the Bracknell Jazz Festival. (TX 06/03/85)
- 'Great Black Music' - the Art Ensemble of Chicago in studio and location in Chicago, Illinois. (TX 1983)
- 'SleeveNotes' - a selection of clips from the music specials, presented by Peter Clayton. (TX 03/11/82)
