A Lark Ascending Posted July 28, 2012 Report Posted July 28, 2012 Enjoyed JRR whilst negotiating the perilous sunken lanes south of Truro on the Roseland Peninsula. I was not made for reversing back up dark, tree enveloped lanes. Really enjoyed the Getz/Burton track at the start. Quote
Tom 1960 Posted July 29, 2012 Report Posted July 29, 2012 WWOZ New Orleans the past 3 hours. Kind of forgotten what a cool station this is. Quote

BillF Posted August 4, 2012 Author Report Posted August 4, 2012 JRR Have liked everything on tonight's show - yes, even the Steely Dan! Quote
BillF Posted August 25, 2012 Author Report Posted August 25, 2012 JRR Loved the Charlie Haden group playing "Body and Soul". Great to hear something from the Hawkins Stanley Dance Session, discussed recently on the board. Quote

Great to hear something from the Hawkins Stanley Dance Session, discussed recently on the board. Good programme - lovely to hear Lol Coxhill on a relatively mainstream programme; especially enjoyed the Coleman Hawkins and Dizzy Gillespie tracks. And was reminded to get my 'Birth of the Third Stream' out by the track with Miles on. Quote
BillF Posted August 28, 2012 Author Report Posted August 28, 2012 WKCR Pres and Bird celebration Quote
BillF Posted August 28, 2012 Author Report Posted August 28, 2012 WKCR The joint celebration has now moved from Pres to Bird. This morning's listening revealed a gap in my record collection, Pres and Teddy, so that's now on its way from supercheap used disc supplier, Zoverstocks. Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted August 31, 2012 Report Posted August 31, 2012 Geoffrey Smith's BBC programme on Stephane Grappelli. Just twigged I can play the iPlayer off the iPhone meaning I don't have to be tied to the computer to listen retrospectively. Technology is amazing. Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted September 15, 2012 Report Posted September 15, 2012 JRR 90 minutes tonight - payback for the Valkyries. Quote
BillF Posted September 15, 2012 Author Report Posted September 15, 2012 JRR 90 minutes tonight - payback for the Valkyries. Thanks for the reminder! Now listening. Quote
BillF Posted September 15, 2012 Author Report Posted September 15, 2012 JRR 90 minutes tonight - payback for the Valkyries. Thanks for the reminder! Now listening. Lots of interesting stuff this week! Never heard the Hayes/Gonsalves before. As each are represented separately in my record collection, I think it's time I got them together! Loved the Morton piano - and piano and vocal by Ottilie Patterson. Saw her sing with Barber a couple of years before this record was made. Armstrong's "Basin Street Blues" - another blast from the past! - a friend of mine wore the 78 of this thin playing it on an autochange for days while he revised for his O Levels. Some surprisingly modern things here - Louis was miles behind the beat and Arvell Shaw's bass solo reminded me of the uproar on the occasion when he quoted "Anthropology" in a solo - all this against the background of his boss declaring bebop rubbish. And the extended Miles electric track was great. Quote

And the extended Miles electric track was great. Indeed - that extra half hour really allowed the programme to spread. Could do a little detour into contemporary Scottish jazz without losing the mainstays. I was really taken by a Patterson track back at the start of the year - before my time but what a voice. The Morton caught my ear too. The Miles track at the end was marvellous - will have to dig out that disc. Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted September 22, 2012 Report Posted September 22, 2012 Another good JRR tonight (Sept 21). Two big favourites of mine - Coleman Hawkins 'Crazy Rhythm' from the 30s and Ella's 'Stella By Starlight'. Quote
BillF Posted September 28, 2012 Author Report Posted September 28, 2012 (edited) "Indiana Avenue: Black Boulevard of Jazz" on Night Lights from WFIU. Great music and fascinating history! Edited September 28, 2012 by BillF Quote
BillF Posted September 29, 2012 Author Report Posted September 29, 2012 JRR The Champion Jack track, recorded in 1967 when he was living in Halifax (U.K.), took me right back. Ed Dipple and I went along to hear him at Manchester University Students' Union. He played and sang solo in a small room to about 30 people, providing percussion with the rings on his fingers on the piano! But it was a good piano for blues, as I knew from my own fumbling efforts. Evening ended with him signing Ed's Dupree album which he pronounced a good one, made in Germany. Those were the days! Quote
BillF Posted October 13, 2012 Author Report Posted October 13, 2012 (edited) JRR again. Trying to find a playlist on their new website is like negotiating a maze. Now playing: classical pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet's rendition of Bill Evans's "Turn Out the Stars". Beautiful - and in my collection! Only when he attempts to swing do things come unstuck.

BillF Posted November 10, 2012 Author Report Posted November 10, 2012 Jazz Record Requests on BBC Radio 3 Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted November 10, 2012 Report Posted November 10, 2012 Jazz Record Requests on BBC Radio 3 Me too. Enjoyed that Buddy Rich track (even though officially I don't care for Buddy Rich!). The Jim Mullen was nice too. Quote
BillF Posted November 11, 2012 Author Report Posted November 11, 2012 Geoffrey Smith's Jazz on Rollins. Nice to hear that 1951 track with Kenny Drew and Art Blakey - a new one on me which should be added to my collection. Quote
Clunky Posted November 11, 2012 Report Posted November 11, 2012 Jazz on 3 - LJF LIve from Ronnie Scott - recorded on Friday night, somehow I managed to lop off the last 30 mins of the show so by missing Ambrose Akinmusire. Luckily should have got it on my DAB albeit at a lower bit rate. Quote
