Peace Pieces
Corey Mwamba shares new free jazz and improvised music to usher in peace, including sounds created especially for Freeness by violist Marija Kovacevic.
On Christmas Eve, Corey Mwamba presents a selection of new free jazz and improvised music to usher in peace and welcome the sacred, taking inspiration from Peace Piece by Bill Evans, one of the most serene and quietly-disarming solo improvisations ever heard.
Musicians and listeners share their ideas for âpeace piecesâ, tracks imbued with atmospheres of tranquillity or performances that express the search and the struggle for serenity and calm. Saxophonist Paul Dunmall offers I Wish You Peace, an anti-war anthem he composed for his 50th birthday; and the trio of Kyoko Kitamura (vocals), Melanie Dyer (viola) and Mara Rosenbloom (piano) share an unreleased live exploration of what amity can sound like.
Violinist Marija Kovacevic sends an improvised response to our theme, specially created for Freeness; plus we receive a musical message of sonic goodwill from Buster Woodruffâ-âBryant (saxophone) and Federico Ughi (drums).
