Listen: BBC’s Unclassified Previews Big Ears 2019
We’re big fans of Elizabeth Alker’s BBC Radio 3 show, Unclassified, a gorgeous meditation on new music that tests the divides between classical and jazz, electronics and acoustics, contemporary and time-tested. So we’re honored that, earlier this week, she had nice words about Big Ears 2019, calling the lineup “extraordinary.” And she’s got tunes from Bill Frisell, Nik Bärtsch’s Ronin, and Joep Beving to back it up. Listen to the entire hour. (Or, if you must, the Big Ears preview begins at 31:30.)
