BillF Posted December 17, 2011 Author Report Posted December 17, 2011 Moi Aussi. That Django 'Undecided' is an all-time favourite. The vocal line sounds like it's slipping around on top of the main music. Very nice bossa 'Love For Sale' from Dexter Gordon just played. I think this week's choice track for me was the Bill Evans. I don't have that version of "Comrade Conrad" in my collection. Quote

BillF Posted January 1, 2012 Author Report Posted January 1, 2012 Jazz Record Requests from BBC Radio 3 Forgot to listen to this yesterday, but can I be blamed this week for not knowing what day it is? Quote
BillF Posted January 7, 2012 Author Report Posted January 7, 2012 Just finished Jazz Record Requests. Particularly liked the 1940 Charlie Christian/Goodman/Basie track. It's years since I heard those sides. Should be in my collection! Now listening to Something Inside of Me ("bringing you electric and acoustic blues") from WKCR. Now playing: Tampa Red. Quote

Rectified that by buying the CBS album Charlie Christian, Genius of Electric Guitar used from Zoverstocks for 58p!! I shall miss my Guernsey friends when they get closed down in April! Now listening to Shorty Rogers discs and archive interview on Jazz Library from BBC Radio 3. Quote

A Lark Ascending Posted February 18, 2012 Report Posted February 18, 2012 I'm there too, Bill. Full hour, on at the right time! Though I suspect a wipe out when Radio 3 does its 'everyone wants to listen to Schubert for 24 hours a day' adventure in a few weeks. I often fantasise of seizing the BBC for a week and playing 7 days of non-stop Ellington, Coltrane or Anthony Braxton. Quote

king ubu Posted February 19, 2012 Report Posted February 19, 2012 Playing last night's "Nuit Thelonious Monk" from France Musique - hosted by Franck Médioni, with Yves Buin (Monk biographer) being there and talking, as well as various pianists testifying... more details here: http://sites.radiofrance.fr/francemusique/ev/fiche.php?eve_id=285000151 The music (so far) has all been taken from regular releases, but the chatting is fairly interesting and it's great to hear such a big dose of Monk in one go!

Ron Thorne Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 I enjoy listening to favorite jazz stations, but also enjoy live streaming from Smalls Jazz Club in NYC, which I listen to just about every evening. I heartily recommend checking it out, and if you dig it, support it with a modest membership. For the cost of a one night cover($20) at the club, you'll have a one year membership, providing you with nightly streams of remarkable musicians. Tonight, I've been listening to this wonderful group: 8:30 PM to 11:00 PM - The Bill Goodwin Group Bill Goodwin - Drums , Adam Niewood - Tenor Sax , Orrin Evans - Piano , Evan Gregor - Bass There's much more to hear, until the wee hours.

A Lark Ascending Posted March 3, 2012 Report Posted March 3, 2012 (edited) Jazz Record Requests from BBC Radio 3 Great selection this week: Jelly Roll, Etta James, Tyner, Peplowski, Thad & Mel ... Indeed - very taken by Frank Vignola on the Peplowski. In fact it's got me playing a KP disc at present. Loved the Etta James too which should be showing up soon on the CD player. 8.30 next week - US clock changes and opera rule the world! Edited March 3, 2012 by A Lark Ascending Quote
