Reason, wake up from sleep!

Verity Sharp plays new music from The Sleep Of Reason Produces Monsters, Etuk Ubong, and Tears|OV.

In times of uncertainty, Verity Sharp selects tracks that awaken the spirit: from the blistering jazz of The Sleep Of Reason Produces Monsters, to the electro-acoustic experiments of Tears|OV, to the luminous, circular saxophone incantations of the Italian duo Tulei, taking inspiration from South African jazz.

Produced by Silvia Malnati
A Reduced Listening production for BBC Radio 3
