Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Doug Curran and Jeffrey Crecelius
It was a great pleasure, as usual, to welcome Simon Barrow onto the YMP to help us talk about the new Pete Roth Trio album, Group Chat. Mark knows about jazz but I certainly don’t, so I relied on the other guys’ understanding of the genre but, as will become clear, it’s a bit of a mistake to try to categorise Bill Bruford’s new-ish collaboration with guitarist Pete Roth and bassist Mike Pratt. Roth says it’s ‘near-jazz, near-rock’ but listen without prejudice, as they say, and we will all enjoy this highly creative and collaborative endeavour.
Simon also shared some items in the chat and afterwards including:
Jam-Bot: Virtual Virtuosity and Embodied Performance

A Microtonal Poke in the Eye for AI?

With Feeling: Performance, Humanity and Technology

- Does it matter how we categorise this music?
- Is it all improvised?
- Is it enjoyable?
Our own Mark Anthony K’s latest release is now available on Bandcamp – Racing From Time, a great 4-track EP.
