This episode features music from Latin America, North America, Europe, and the Mediterranean region. It begins with rhythmically driven Latin jazz and piano-led ensemble work, followed by experimental compositions using layered electronics, extended techniques, and non-standard forms. Midway, the programme includes modal structures, bowed string textures, and vibraphone-led chamber jazz. The final third presents free improvisation, large ensemble writing, and live recordings with shifting metre and phrasing. The sequence spans solo, trio, quintet, and big band formats, with studio and live material released across independent and established labels.
