Late Lunch with Out to Lunch

[Repeated from Wednesday 2pm.] Polemic, politics, mouth jazz and spontaneous music with Ben Watson. This week, Ben welcomes two guests: John Butcher on sax and Mario Guarnieri on percussion. A bit at a loss to explain a player he's been admiring for decades, Ben consulted Google AI to find that he and John are both "prominent figures deeply tied to the British free improvisation and avant-garde music scene." However, Out To Lunch - who will be playing acoustic guitar with Butcher and Guarnieri - pointed out that the "deeply-tied" Watson should be sceptical about insights derived from Large Language Models, and that the reality is that none of the three know what kind of music will result. It is this unpredictability which inspires these improvisors, making it tough to preview... Watson's conclusion: "Tune in and find out!”.
