Juliette Greco: Bohemian muse avec Gauloise
The seventh radio show from theartsdesk features a wealth of eclectic music, from grime to Bach, while Joe Muggs and Peter Culshaw discuss everything from French café culture of the Fifties to sub-Saharan politics in the Sudan and northern Mali.
Questions that arise include: Is the Bohemian outsider philosophy dead? Have the Olympics helped kill off the old artistic ideal of seeking “derangement of the senses” in favour of clean living? How much hipper is Bradley Wiggins than Paul Weller?
A track from jazzer Brad Mehldau’s new record is played alongside one from the solo piano album by Chilli Gonzalez, who is clearly influenced by the archetypal green corduroy-clad boho Erik Satie. Politically-charged music comes from Ry Cooder and Nona Hendryx. Featured labels: Hyperdub and Nonesuch.
