Art Pepper, The Complete Galaxy Recordings. Should keep me occupied for a while!

I posted this in the wrong thread!

I'm not listening right now, but my girlfriend has discovered KKJZ 88.1. I'm so proud of her--when I met her she was listening to the most awful pop music, but four years of bombarding her with good tunes has finally rubbed off!

Bob Parlocha's late night (and early morning) show on KKJZ (KJAZZ 88.1) broadcast out of Long Beach, CA.

In just having read through some related threads, I see that KJAZZ has or at least had a bad reputation for its "defanged" programming. Maybe so, but I've picked up quite a bit from Parlocha near the witching hour. And at least he's honest, referring to his selections collectively as "mainstream jazz".

Jazz Record Requests from BBC Radio 3

Now playing: Christopher Logue (poet) with the Tony Kinsey Quintet

I remember that one!

I've been listening too. I've only heard these poetry and jazz discs in recent years - I'm always struck by how posh the poets sound. There's a Michael Garrick disc I have with similar plummy versifying.

Poetry and jazz was quite a cult in my youth. At Leeds University I remember that poet-in-residence Peter Redgrove was persuaded by bassist Danny Padmore to read to jazz accompaniment in a club. I agree that the plummy English voices of the era didn't sound right - a problem which hadn't arisen in San Francisco when Beat poets Lawrence Ferlinghetti and Kenneth Rexroth read to West Coast sounds.

KSDS FM San Diego

I've been listening to this station all morning since I'm sick. I just turn the speakers up and head back to bed. They've been playing some great music.

Hope the musical remedy works quickly, Tom!
