Firebirds

Soweto Kinch with a set from the Firebirds at the 2017 Denmark Festival.

Soweto Kinch with a set from the Firebirds at this year's Sounds of Denmark Festival. Led by drummer Stefan Pasborg, with with saxophonist Anders Banke and Anders Filipsen on keyboards, the band takes inspiration (as its name suggests) from such classical works as Stravinsky's Firebird, and it interprets this and other classical composers' works through a heady mixture of composition and improvisation. Plus Al Ryan talks to saxophonist Dave O'Higgins about his new album which includes several new compositions, and Emma Smith meets the African-influenced jazz group Vula Viel.
