The Music Machine: The Art of Simplicity: 3

on BBC Radio 3

Stuart Maconie looks at the importance of simplicity in solo performances. The great jazz trumpeter Miles Davis was one of the first musicians to let the music breathe, and some of today's performers like Julian Joseph and Ian Carr also say the silences in music are as important as the notes.
