BBC Radio 3 - Late Junction, Nick Luscombe

Nick Luscombe with rare soul, Henry Threadgill and wedding music from Azerbaijan.

Nick Luscombe presents a rare reissue of soul record Two Sisters from Bagdad, the jazz-ish aesthetic of composer Henry Threadgill and wedding music from Azerbaijan.

Rare, rejoicing and radical sounds.

Rare: a new reissue of soul record Two Sisters from Bagdad, designed to be sold as an accompaniment to a musical theatre production in a Detroit church. It ended up running for just two weeks, while a basement flood later destroyed most of the unsold copies.

Radical: composer Henry Threadgill, whose jazz-ish aesthetic and complex musical systems have continued to break ground, has a new album out.

Rejoicing: wedding music from the borderlands of Azerbaijan and Iran, where women-only groups perform with voices and hand-drums - a 1500-year-old tradition captured for Late Junction earlier this year.

Produced by Chris Elcombe for Reduced Listening.

Live music and the arts: broadcasts more live music than any other radio network. Classical music is its core. Genres include world and new music, jazz, speech and drama.
