A New Me!

Verity Sharp celebrates moments of artistic reinvention and musical New Year鈥檚 resolutions with a selection of experimental tracks that herald beginning anew.

Verity Sharp celebrates moments of artistic reinvention and musical New Year鈥檚 resolutions with a selection of experimental tracks that herald beginning anew. Among the musicians to feature are British improviser Keith Rowe, whose straight-ahead sound got significantly freakier after he made a New Year's resolution not to tune his guitar again. And in a song from Keeley Forsyth we meet an established actress who only relatively recently began releasing records of raw and lyrical intensity as a singer and composer.

Virtuoso bassist Melvin Gibbs, meanwhile, reveals another side to his creative personality with the release of an album of crafted sound-pieces; and turning to the archives for a landmark jazz album, we hear what happened when another bass player, the legendary Charles Mingus, decided to lay down his instrument and eschew bandmates in favour of time spent alone at the piano for a series of 鈥渟pontaneous compositions and improvisations.鈥�
