This looks intriguing, I shall certainly be listening in...

"Late Junction Collaborative Session: Pianist John Tilbury fulfilled a long held ambition to collaborate with his friend, the avant-garde guitarist Derek Bailey who died in 2005. With the permission of Bailey's widow Karen, John Tilbury selected unreleased gems from Derek's archive and brought them along to Maida Vale where he created three tracks for prepared and unprepared piano. Presented by Nick Luscombe."

Thanks so very much for making us aware of this.

Tilbury definitely had conformed and performed in Bailey's 'tradition', did he not? :-)
It's mildly disappointing that the recordings of Bailey chosen for this session were from an unreleased live recording and not from some unused recording done at Moat studios - where his guitar always sounded so large and resonant. For this collaboration, Bailey sounds as if his contributions were merely played out of some ancient cassette recorder.
