New release showcases an eclectic trove of music, poetry and spoken word made between 1978 and 1996
Dread Beat and Blood, 1979.
LONDON
.- From the streets of Brixton and Manchester to leafy suburbs, junk yards, punk venues and community centres, Great Noises That Fill the Air celebrates and showcases an eclectic trove of music, poetry and spoken word performance in a curated collection of film and video works made between 1978 and 1996, and rarely seen since.
In the later decades of the 20th century, independent filmmakers pushed at the creative boundaries of documentary work thanks to Arts Council funding, generating an eruption of diverse, dynamic, cutting edge films that still stimulate the intellect and inflame the senses. By turns poetic and impressionistic, personal and experimental, these bold films highlight the potential of documentary to challenge, celebrate, excite, fight and inspire.

Carla Bley is arguably the greatest living jazz composer; John Doran talks to the woman fellow musicians have nicknamed Countess Bleysie and Bleythoven about foundational free jazz sessions, the magic of The Liberation Music Orchestra and her epic jazz opera, Escalator Over The Hill.

Edward Said immersed himself in the final works of Beethoven, Genet and Beckett while writing his own last book. Said, who produced
On Late Style while ill with leukaemia, concluded that at the end of their lives, artists did not tend to resolve issues that had preoccupied them for their entire practice but instead produced works of unparalleled complexity and unresolved contradiction.

An email last week from the University of Missouri School of Music had me at the mere mention of an upcoming event centered on Mary Lou Williams, the late, iconic jazz pianist. To say Williams is a seminal figure in modern jazz is, well, beyond an understatement. She’s
that important and remains
that influential.
At 4 p.m. Thursday, the Middleton Center for Race, Citizenship, and Justice and the School of Music are co-sponsoring the Zoom gathering “Mary Lou Williams: Jazz Composer, Pianist, Activist.” The event features a pair of MU faculty, Stephanie Shonekan and Sam Griffith. (Full disclosure: Griffith is a “We Always Swing” Jazz Series board member.) Members of the MU Concert Jazz Band, who will examine Williams’ music the day before, are also slated to serve on the panel.
