Magnum Opus

on BBC Radio 3

Although jazz is essentially improvised music, the composer is particularly necessary for extended pieces - to provide the initial inspiration, to create the right atmosphere, and to devise a framework within which the musicians can improvise. Charles Fox introduces a series of six concert recordings featuring music by some of the most important jazz composers at work in this country.
