Blue Latitudes
Friday 14 April 2006 23:40-1:00 (Radio 3)
Recorded at St Luke's in London, leading New York trumpeter and composer Dave Douglas performs a new work inspired by Captain Cook's nautical exploration. Commissioned by Birmingham Contemporary Music Group and Birmingham Jazz, Blue Latitudes describes the interaction between different cultures.
Here this happens musically, with Douglas composing for BCMG and three jazz improvisers - himself, and the acclaimed US-based players Mark Dresser on bass and Susie Ibarra on drums and percussion.
