BBC Jazz broadcasts online

[David Ayers]

As I mentioned BBC Radio 3 the other day I thought people might be interested in this online service where you can hear the latest broadcast of the BBC's various jazz programs.

BBC Radio 3 Player

Start by checking out Jazz Legends - a great survey of Pepper Adams.

PS The playlists ARE posted, but soemtimes arrive a week or two after the broadcast goes out...

Thanks, David!

Now can anyone explain to me how I can record this with either Nero Wave Editor or Goldwave? What way do I have to adapt my settings? Or do I need yet another programme?

thanks,

ubu

Ubu,

dont forget to check out Jazz on 3 - its right up your street.

[Shrdlu]

Let me guess. It's presented by old fogey Lyttleton and features three hours of Acker Bilk and Monty Sunshine's trad bands.

Close , but not quite

Jazz on 3

Gary, that's of course what I'm recording right now... the Parker sounds good on paper, will post in the rat once I have it. I guess you recorded that straight from the radio?

[David Ayers]

Kjell Nordeson plays some mean vibes on the Vandermark date!

[Gary]

Yes , its the original broadcast of that show that led me to start sniffing around the funny rat thread. A magnificent set.

I have a minidisc at the ready every Friday night.

Funny, same here - Friday night is the weekly broadcast on swiss radio, as well.

So the online recording of the Jazz on 3 show is available right until the new one is up? Do they change right after the actual broadcast occurs?

This kind of fare reminds me of classical stations where you tune in to hear great musicians and orchestras and you get Milton Fenwick on piano with the Sheboygan Symphony.

It's why I don't use the radio much, and we have to fork out for our private collections. (A good exception is the NPR stations with jazz at night.)

When I was a teenager, you could hear lots of the top players on the radio, and I learned a lot from that.

Australia used to have some great guys on their non-commercial radio: Eric Child, Kym Bonython and Arch McKirdy played a lot of top stuff. Kim used to get all the new Blue Note LPs and "introduced" me to the likes of Horace Silver and Joe Henderson.

By all means give relative unknowns a go, but what about the greats?

[king ubu]

Hey, wait a minute, Evan Parker, Wolfgang Muthspiel, and Brian Blade ARE the greats! Ken Vandermark, some would say, as well...

Maybe not your typical Blue Note kind of sound, but hey!

[David Ayers]

It is a matter of taste and preferences, but I'd say that over time Jazz on 3 has presented a pretty excellent and informative set of concerts.

[Shrdlu]

I'm not against them, or you, Ubu. But I am tired of jazz and classical stations that hardly ever play music by the ones that are regarded as the all-time greats. I expect to hear Trane, Miles, Pops, etc, and on a classical station, the people like David Oistrakh and Artur Rubinstein.

[fent99]

Record these when I can too (through my freeview box). The Muthspiel was a great gig since I was there so will definitely be recording this

[Gary]

They are on Saturday afternoons mainly.

Dead musicians gig less well. The BBC plays this stuff on other broadcasts. Jazz on 3 is dedicated to recent live performances.

what's the sound quality like on the freeview box, better than FM ?

Jazz on 3 is a great source of quality modern jazz, we're lucky to have it.

[fent99]

Sound quality on freeview is fine. FM is a better signal I'm sure but in North London we get a lot of pirate interference and there is none of that on digital. There's the odd drop out but in general its pretty stable

[David Ayers]

Late Junction and Mixing It are also great resources for the curious - eclectic programs with world music, improv, turntables and electronica and even jazz all thrown into the mix.

Just listening to a little Otomo Yoshihide on Mixing It - he is the proverbial bomb!

This is another good programme on BBC Radio Scotland. Should keep those 'expecting to hear the greats' happy. Same archive system as the BBC in England.

[king ubu]

Can anyone tell me when the Jazz on 3 shows are updated?

thanks,

ubu

[David Williams]

Sorry, no. They only keep for one week, but don't know what time they cycle. I'm sure they'll tell if you email.

Shrdlu's idea of a jazz show may be better met by Helen Mayhew's new show from midnight until 3am on Sunday morning - the publicity promises some classic names, though the first tune last week was George Benson, albeit quite jazzy Benson.

[Shrdlu]

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect to hear the greats, and so many broadcasts in recent years, in various countries, have disappointed.

I listed a small sample of names that are great. There is no question. And the young 'uns, who may not have heard the greats (in any kind of music), need to hear them as part of their musical education - and also because it is a groove to hear the best.

Once again, no disrespect to currently active musicians.

Anyway, that's why we have LPs and CDs at home.

Funnily enough, I was talking to a cousin who lives in London, England, on the phone last night. She has a lot of contacts and her daughter is a professional singer. "Do you want to be on the BBC?", she asked. So watch out, you may hear the Shrdlu Show! Then the greats will be heard, some Japanese reissues included.
