ON THE EDGE
Broadcast in 1992, On The Edge is a 4-part miniseries about improvisation in music -- in all of its forms. Written by improvising British guitarist Derek Bailey and based on his book 'Improvisation: Its Nature and Practice in Music', the program admirably includes everything from traditional Korean music to French Catholic liturgical organ performance to downtown New York free jazz.
EYEVIN TRIO
Québecois outfit Eyevin Trio is drummer Ivan Bamford's loving homage to composer and saxophonist Thomas Chapin, a vital contributor to the American avant-jazz ecosystem whose vision was cut short by his untimely death from leukemia. The group — featuring bassist Stéphane Diamantakiou and reedsman Aurelien Tomasi explores Chapin's rich repertoire alongside original compositions, animating them in spirit and through Chapin's own saxophone. In October 2019, they were awarded the Prix François Marcaurelle for best concert at 20th edition of the OFF Festival de Jazz de Montréal.
