“Avant-garde jazz musician Sun Ra stars in the movie version of his concept album Space Is the Place. Not following a linear plot line, this experimental film is a bizarre combination of social commentary, blaxploitation, science fiction, and concert performance. The opening scene is set in an intergalactic forest, with Sun Ra introducing his plan to use music as salvation for the black community.” Read more & watch the movie.

The tune is a Mark Whitecage composition and is available on the Nu Band’s latest CD ‘Lower East Side Blues’ on Porter Records. You may listen the full album tomorrow on “Extreme Jazz” at 9.00 PM (GMT +02:00).

“At a time when most longstanding jazz festivals are struggling, a relative newcomer, the New Languages Festival, is thriving.

New Languages was founded by two saxophonists, Jackson Moore, 32 years old, and Aaron Ali Shaikh, 27. “We began with the intention of shining light on jazz musicians who were of the generation that grew up with the avant-garde as a past occurrence,” Mr. Shaikh said in an interview last week. For these musicians, he said, the avant-garde of the ’60s and ’70s “is a norm that informs their style and composing just as much as so-called traditional jazz.” Mr. Moore said that the festival’s name “seemed to sum up the potential of the creative jazz musician.”

It will be made up entirely of sounds made during the life cycle of a pig.

In his first pig-related blog Matthew writes: “I will be there at its birth, during its life, present at its death and during the butchery process. Its body will then be given to chefs new and old, there will be a feast, it will all be recorded and then turned in to music.

Meanwhile I await a call from Monkshill Farm in Kent to let me know that my pig is on its way. I will rush there with a camera and a tape recorder”.
