Lots of new music this week including tracks from avant gardist Bill Dixon, Japan’s new jazzers What’s Up and quasimode and Detroit keyboardist Amp Fiddler’s collaboration with Jamaican rhythm masters Sly and Robbie. But there was also time to revive an old favourite on vinyl – the beautiful final movement from Mike Westbrook’s masterpiece Metropolis with its haunting trumpet theme played by Harry Beckett.

Shout outs to all our listeners and callers including Pete who will be coming next week to play his latest selection of music old and new.
