London Jazz Festival: Archie Shepp & Joachim K眉hn

Jez Nelson presents saxophonist Archie Shepp in performance with pianist Joachim K眉hn at the London Jazz Festival.

Jez Nelson presents saxophonist Archie Shepp in performance with pianist Joachim K眉hn at the London Jazz Festival. Shepp cut his teeth as part of 'The New Thing' in the 1960s, playing extensively with the likes of John Coltrane and Cecil Taylor before going on to explore more traditional African-American traditions and developing one of the most distinctive saxophone sounds of recent decades. K眉hn has been part of the European avant-garde for just as long, integrating contemporary classical sounds in work with violinist Jean-Luc Ponty and reeds player Michel Portal, more recently earning plaudits for duo work with Ornette Coleman. He and Shepp perform music from their recent critically acclaimed album Wo!man, a collaboration that sees them play together for the first time in many years.

Presenter: Jez Nelson
Guest: Kevin Le Gendre
Producers: Russell Finch & Phil Smith.
