Nu Civilisation Orchestra - Parallel - Joe Harriott rehearsal

Here's a glimpse of an early rehearsal of the Nu Civilisation Orchestra's project, Parallel - A Tribute To Joe Harriott, the iconic Jamaican free form jazz saxophonist.
A bebop player at heart, saxophonist Joe Harriott fused the influences of Charlie Parker with his own Jamaican musical sensibilities, providing constant encounters with his Caribbean roots. He also sought inspiration from visual artists such as Picasso, believing that "most of this music is best listened to as a series of different pictures - for it is after all, by definition, an attempt in free improvisation to paint, as it were, freely in sound".
Part of the Lively Up! Festival 2012 marking 50 Years of Jamaican Independence, produced by Dune Music in association with Tomorrow's Warriors.
