Outsiders: OTOROKU - Strangeness of Jazz w/ Edward George
Part listening session, part audio essay, Edward George’s now legendary series explores the strangeness of jazz, drawing on critical theory, social history, and a deep and a wide cross-genre musical selection. A feast for the ears and the brain. For this episode - titled 'Sly II' - George is joined by artist, musician and make-up practitioner Crystabel Efemena Riley, whose work moves across drums, electronics, skin, surface and pattern. At the center of the program is Jamaican drummer Sly Dunbar, whose dub recordings and subsequent remixes becomes a point of convergence for seemingly contradictory histories of rhythm and temporality.
