Thu.: No fooling – Dave Douglas & Bill Frisell are together again for the first time! Hard to believe, but true: today’s featured new release is the first substantial collaboration between longtime mutual admirers Dave & Bill. Respectively/arguably, each has for some years been North America’s most interesting improvising trumpeter/bandleader & guitarist. The new Dave Douglas Quintet CD, “Strange Liberation” features Bill as special guest/additional player. Freedom & coherence, grooves & more abstract truths co-exist, to delightful effect. The music is very “conversational” but never merely self-indulgent, sometimes haunting & introspective, sometimes very exuberant.
Fri.: ‘Tales of Time and Space’ is the new album from Paul Grabowsky. As befits one of Australia’s most advanced jazz pianists/composers/thinkers, it’s a complex weave of improvisation and dense composition, recorded in New York City with fellow Australian trumpeter Scott Tinkler and four of New York’s foremost improvisers and sound creators: tenor saxophonist Joe Lovano, soprano saxophonist Branford Marsalis, drummer Jeff ‘Tain’ Watts and bassist Ed Schuller. Whether it’s a ballad or an up groove, all concerned are wide awake as they realise Paul’s musical visions.

Natasha Mitchell speaks to the leading international researchers spearheading research into the psychology of this nasty phenomena.

Saturday

0005 PACIFIC REVIEW* (refer to Fri. 1805)
0030 OCKHAM'S RAZOR - sharp talk about science. This week: "Safe, Legalised Euthanasia is a Myth".

0434 BOOK TALK - a mix of reviews, critical discussion and a look at the latest developments in publishing with Amanda Smith. This week: "The Rise of the Indian Rope Trick". At the beginning of the twentieth century, the Indian Rope Trick was the world's most famous and mysterious act of magic. Experts said it couldn't be done, yet people claimed to have seen it with their own eyes. The truth is tale of invented history and human credulity. Magician and historian Peter Lamont went in search of the origins of the Indian Rope Trick, said to reach far back into the mythical past of the mystic East. What he found was a hoax story written in a Chicago newspaper in 1890. Nevertheless, a legend was born, and in the following decades eye-witnesses regularly came forward to say they'd seen the trick performed in India. [%]


0505 AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS - a magazine about life in Australia, with Roger Broadbent. This week, we literally takes you down under.

We find out what it's like to live with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder from the point of view of the sufferer and their loved ones.

1405    BACKGROUND BRIEFING (refer to 0205)
1455    CORRESPONDENT'S NOTEBOOK

1505 IN THE PIPELINE - This thirteen part radio series goes beyond the current hype surrounding digital technology to examine the challenges and opportunities it creates for Australia and the Asian region. This week: "5--Smart Cities". Australia’s capital cities developed in large part to service the needs of the rural economy. But now our cities are the hubs for the finance, service and information industries which are the new engines of global economic growth. Our cities now compete internationally to become major centres to service the global economy. According to the techno-optimists geography is no longer a barrier to participation in global markets. But can remote and rural communities be truly integrated into this network? We’re being told that only the ‘information rich’ will survive in the digital age where skills and knowledge become tradeable commodities? Will cities lose touch with their hinterlands to the detriment of local communities? [T;%]
1532 AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS (refer to 0505)


1605 HINDSIGHT - social history. This week: "Waifs and Strays--The Children of the Randwick Destitute Children's Asylum". From 1858 to the time of its closure in 1916, Sydney's Randwick Destitute Children's Asylum had housed 6,000 neglected children.
More than two hundred of those children died at the Asylum, and for over a century lay buried and forgotten in the nearby cemetery. We explore the Asylum's history, and its impact. [%]
1655 PERSPECTIVE - informed commentary.


1705 THE SPIRIT OF THINGS - religion and spirituality. This week: "The Suppressed Christian Tradition". In the late 1970s Elaine Pagels published The Gnostic Gospels, putting into the public domain a suppressed Christian tradition, which the church regarded as 'heretical'. They were the Gospels of Mary, Philip and Thomas, found at Nag Hammadi, Egypt, in 1945. Now a world-famous scholar, Pagels argues against the term "Gnostic," which was a term of reproach, and reflects on the gospels' similarities to Kabbalistic and Buddhist thought. [T;%]
