http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b013826n
Julian Joseph presents concert music from Ethiopian jazz legend Mulatu Astatke recorded at this year's Glasgow Jazz Festival. Mulatu Astatke, commonly referred to as 'the father of Ethiopian jazz', has performed with Duke Ellington, Mahmoud Ahmed, the Heliocentrics and his music has featured in cult film maker Jim Jarmusch's movie 'Broken Flowers'. During the late 1950's Astatke studied engineering in Wales but subsequently earned a degree in music. In the 1960s, he became the first African student at Boston's prestigious Berklee College of Music where he studied vibraphone and percussion. Tonight's concert set features contributions from a host of players from the UK's vibrant jazz scene including trumpeter Byron Wallen and drummer Tom Skinner. Recorded at the Platform Arts Centre in Easterhouse as part of this year's Glasgow Jazz Festival in front of a packed home feature brand new compostions alongside his classic tracks from the 60's and 70's. Julian also talks to Kevin Le Gendre, with another 'Now Is The Time' featuring the album 'In This World', by Mark Turner.

BBC Radio 3
Michael Berkeley is joined by writer Marina Lewycka. Her choices include Bach and Handel.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00v7s8y
Marina Lewycka, a post-war baby born to Ukrainian parents in a German refugee camp, has lived in England since she was one. Her parents settled in a village near Pontefract, and she has lived in south Yorkshire for much of her life. She read English and Philosophy at Keele University, enrolled for a PhD at Kings College, London, and then spent many years as an unpublished writer, before finally achieving huge success, at the age of 58, with the novel 'A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian'. Her two subsequent novels, 'Two Caravans' and 'We Are All Made of Glue', also deal with aspects of immigrant life, treated with wry humour and great poignancy.
Her musical passions, as revealed to Michael Berkeley, begin with two classics of the Baroque repertoire, Bach's First Brandenburg Concerto, and the aria 'I know that my Redeemer liveth', from Handel's Messiah. The Sibelius Violin Concerto was as great favourite of her father, who died recently; while Marina herself has attempted to play her next choice, Mozart's Piano Sonata in F, K332. She loves music that tells a story, and has chosen the March to the Scaffold from Berlioz's 'Symphonie fantastique', for its narrative energy. She says that all writers aspire to the ability to draw joy out of sadness, which Mozart does to consummate effect in the Countess's aria 'Dove sono' from 'The Marriage of Figaro'. Marina's own origins are referenced in the traditional Ukrainian folksong 'The Black Raven', while her deep love of nature is reflected.

The Photograph
Sun 14 Aug 2011

BBC Radio 3
Sequence of texts and music inspired by photographs and photography.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b013826l
Geraldine James and Robert Powell read poetry and prose inspired by photographs and photography - real and imagined - from the time of the earliest Victorian pioneers to the photojournalists and artists of today. Texts include extracts from the writings of British pioneer Fox Talbot and American transcendentalist Ralph Waldo Emerson, the novels of Nathaniel Hawthorne and Paul Auster, and poetry spanning 150 years from Thomas Hardy and Walt Whitman to Leonard Cohen and Carol Ann Duffy. Music includes orchestral works by Charles Ives and Leos Janacek, an electronic fragment from Tod Dockstader and a pictorial song from Tom Waits, plus environmental sound recordings by Chris Watson and Peter Cusack.
Producer's Note
Towards the end of his life, Walt Whitman became increasingly obsessed with photographs of himself. He spent hours sitting for photographers, experimenting with different poses, editing the results, burning the ones he didn't like. His poem Out From Behind This Mask is subtitled To Confront a Portrait, the portrait in question being an engraving by William J.Linton based on a photograph of Whitman taken by George C. Potter in 1871, and which was used as the frontispiece for Leaves of Grass. The author memorably describes the image of his own face as "This heart's geography's map", a kind of paper guide to the internal character.
The fictional daguerreotype image of the outwardly benevolent Judge Pyncheon in Nathaniel Hawthorne's gothic novel The House of Seven Gables was also intended to be engraved for publication but on close inspection reveals a "sly man", "imperious" and "as cold as ice." The merits of photographic portraiture are questioned later in poems by Philip Larkin and W. H. Auden.
Christopher Isherwood becomes the camera itself in the opening lines of his semi-autobiographical story observing life in 1930s Berlin, one of several places evoked in these texts. The boulevards of 19th-century Paris are described by English chemist and photographic pioneer Fox Talbot in The Pencil of Nature. The decaying post-industrial landscape of the Calder Valley in West Yorkshire is the subject for Remains of Elmet, from a book of poems by Ted Hughes with black and white photographs by Fay Godwin. And we are given an rooftop view of present-day Edinburgh in an extract from Robin Robertson's Camera Obscura cycle.
Some of the music I've used has a direct link to existing photographs. Guitarist and composer Bill Frisell recorded an album inspired by the portraits of early 20th-century American photographer Mike Meyers aka Disfarmer, who lived and worked in the small town of Heber Springs, Arkansas, and whose imposing presence, dark clothes and gruff manner scared the local kids and made his subjects feel distinctly uncomfortable. "Everybody was afraid of him" said the local funeral director. You'll also hear parts of Specification.Fifteen, the work of electronic musicians Taylor Dupree and Richard Chartier who in 2006 were invited by the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington DC to create a work in response to the Seascapes series of Japanese artist Hiroshi Sugimoto.
Other music reflects the mood of the texts: Herman Melville's poem is followed by a movement from Leos Janacek's Sinfonietta, which the composer intended to express "contemporary free man, his spiritual beauty and joy, his strength, courage and determination to fight for victory". The idea of companionship suggested by Seamus Heaney's poem is echoed in the recording of Kala by Toumani Diabate and Ali Farka Toure. Some of the pieces have a pictorial quality: Tom Waits' Watch Her Disappear, a voyeuristic dream in the "black summer heat", and Charles Ives' Central Park in the Dark, "a picture-in-sounds" said the composer in 1906, "that men would hear some thirty or so years ago when sitting on a bench in Central Park on a hot summer night."
The relationship between photography and sound recording in documenting place can be heard in the work of Chris Watson and Peter Cusack whose evocative recordings convey sometimes surprising information through the positioning and choice of microphones. In Cusack’s Cuckoo and Radiometer - Pripyat, a small handheld radiometer bleeps beside the Ferris wheel in a playground near to the Chernobyl power plant, while a cuckoo calls in the background - “an ironic juxtaposition of sounds” says the artist, “as both allude to sudden eviction. Cuckoos pirate other birds’ nests ejecting the eggs and chicks and radiation forced the evacuation of all Pripyat residents.” Chris Watson's Vatnajokull, recording the movement of glacial ice in the Norwegian sea, can be heard towards the end of the programme.
The sound recordist's spirit of documentation and observation has something in common with the American transendentalists Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson whose journals are quoted here to highlight the difference between looking and seeing. And like photography, the musique concrete of Tod Dockstader has the ability to take a fragment of the everyday and transform it into something new and intriguing.
