Canterbury Sans Frontières episode 56

Canterbury Sans Frontières: Episode 56

A slight variant on a Kevin Ayers classic, some newly unearthed tapes from Khan's last European tour (1972), Wyatt speaking on Ellington, guesting on cornet with Clear Frame and (perhaps) drumming with the Keith Tippett Group, National Health live in Kansas, a perfectly formed Henry Cow miniature, some overlooked cosmicness from Gilli Smyth and Gong and a rather lovely (if slightly cheesy) Caravan instrumental. Also, Jaga Jazzist live in Sao Paulo, American minimalist composer Ellen Arkbro and Bristol's Spindle Ensemble. The middle hour features an interview with Anthony Saggers (a.k.a. Stray Ghost) about his time living and making music in Canterbury as well as his creative ventures since.
