Ellington, Braxton and Mary Lou Williams

Ilan Volkov and friends celebrate milestones from the past 100 years of American jazz, starting with a sequence honouring the 'Duke'. Mary Lou Williams' Zodiac Suite from 1945 romps between boogie-woogie and dissonance in its response to astrological signs. The evening culminates in the work of a boundary-crossing visionary very much still with us. From the south side of Chicago, multi-instrumentalist and self-styled 'trans-idiomatic composer' Anthony Braxton has established himself as a musician whose imagination recognises no bounds. There will be an interval.
