Excerpts from the concert, including an interview with Maria and Mário, were broadcast on the BBC World Service on 24 November 2001.

The sound quality is quite poor - even by my fairly undemanding standards. The BBC World Service is aimed primarily at overseas listeners and reception in the UK can leave something to be desired.

That is all I have from Maria - until she visits England again.

Stan Tracey, 30 January 2008

Stan Tracey Big Band
Barbican, London
30th January 2008

Owing to a technical hitch, I did not manage to record the first set, comprising performances by the Octet and a duet between Stan Tracey and Keith Tippett. I have only the second set comprising the "Genesis"suite and encore "Little Man You've Had a Busy Day".

I did not have a spare tape with me, so the recording ends after about an hour. If you can assist with the title of the first piece, please leave a comment.

The performance was subsequently broadcast on BBC Radio and I think I have a recording of it somewhere. I'll upload it if I find it.

The end of The Stones of the Arch is missing, as the tape ran out

John Scofield, Mark-Anthony Turnage, 11 February 2006

John Scofield Trio, Scottish Chamber Orchestra - Scorched
Joe Lovano (saxophone) - A Man Descending
Barbican, London
Saturday, 11 February 2006

This was the first outing with a new cassette recorder and I learnt the hard way how easy it was to press some of the buttons uninitentionally. A Man Descending was accidentally recorded at double-play i.e. half speed. Mishaps with the pause button meant I lost most of the John Scofield Trio performance in the first half of the programme, along with one or two movements at the start of Scorched. But I hope it is better than nothing. Comparisons with the Deutsche Grammophon release of 2002 will show how the piece has evolved during the intervening period.
