Oxford Improvisers cohorts Pat Thomas and Dom Lash will be featured and interviewed this Tuesday (22 February) on BBC Radio Oxford. The Jo In The Afternoon programme, which airs from 1.00 pm to 4.00 pm, will cover Thomas’ story and involvement in music, with a focus on his improvisational and compositional work.

If that whets your appetite for some live music, that evening will see a special event at The Old Bookbinders on Oxford’s Green Street. The launch concert for Four Compositions For Orchestra, a CD by Pat Thomas with the Oxford Improvisers Orchestra, will see live performances from Thomas and Lash as well as Jon Seagroatt, Trevor Taylor, John Russell and Stefan Keune. Pat Thomas will be performing, amongst other things, John Zorn’s ‘Cobra’.
