This weeks guest performers:
TROMBONE POETRY
The trombone poetry project grew out of work with the pioneering
trombone trio, The Blowpipes, and part of the aim is to bring
the power, range and charm of this poorly-understood instrument
to new audiences, many of whom have been reared on a meagre
diet of guitars and the occasional saxophone.
As for the poetry, decades of reading on trains, planes, tour
buses and park benches have led Taylor to make his own marks
on paper, to shape some kind of sense out of it all. Some of
their poetry is inspired by the inventions and writings of the
French group, Oulipo, and some by the inventions and writings
of the American designer Buckminster Fuller, Trombone poetry
has been performed in jazz clubs, poetry festivals, acoustic
clubs, free-improv events, theatres, and on BBC Radio 3's The
Verb.
