On Real Jazz, Wynton Marsalis is talking about Charlie Parker, and it is very interesting.

Me too!

He always looks so unwell - on stage and in photos. Yet his mind and speaking voice seem to be of a man 50 years younger.

Such an interesting guy!

Such an interesting guy!

Indeed! Though not exactly modest!

I really like his more recent big band recordings - some beautifully sonorous brass writing in almost eleagic settings.

That 'Celebration Jig' that was played is a wonderfully agile, life-enhancing piece off a great record.

Jazz Library on BBC Radio 3.

Alyn Shipton and pianist Gwilym Simcock enthusing about Jaco Pastorious for an hour. Very enjoyable.

Just tuned in. Sounds like Lester in a JATP show. (Jazz Record Requests)

You missed a great Stan Sulzmann track.

Made me think that it's Joe Henderson he reminds me of most (though I was listening to Stan ten or more years before I heard Joe!). Henderson seemed to have a big influence on the tenor players at the turn of the 60s/70s. I can hear him in Ronnie Scott too.

I remember Ronnie on Desert Island Discs many, many years ago praising to the skies a newcomer called Joe Henderson. This was before he started making "Mr Piano" jokes when announcing Henderson tunes.

Yeah - I've been in the audience a few times when he came out with that Joe 'Piano' Henderson joke - one of his 'set' gags. If I remember correctly he sometimes followed it up with 'Miles will be in the Club next week' [gasps and awe from punters..] followed by the immortal 'Sir Bernard Miles'

Not to mention the promise of an all-star American group featuring Stan Getz and Stuff Smith: "We call it the Getz-Stuff quintet."
