Sorry you missed it, Sidewinder. The more recent selections were truly impressive. Re Coltrane-influenced British tenormen, Dave O'Higgins has received recent praise for his performance alongside Eric Alexander, but those Skidmore tracks, plus hearing him a couple of years ago with the Tubby Hayes Legacy Big Band, leave me thinking he's The Man in this department!

Jazz Record Requests, retrieved from its awkward late evening slot, still with Geoffrey Smith.

Last week's Jazz Record Requests at the time decided by the Good Lord.

Yes, he's brilliant. A good article about him in this month's 'Jazzwise' (he's just turning 70). The first time I saw him live many years ago he was with Elvin Jones' Jazz Machine, along with Pat LaBarbara in a 2-tenor front line. Skid mentions this gig in the article.

That band was incendiary !

In terms of music, no real change under the new management. The only difference is the early jazz gets mixed in with the rest; it used to stack up at the start of the programme (to allow dirty boppers to switch on 15 minutes later?).

Too much from the trad revival this week, I thought. Perhaps Geoffrey Smith, available online tomorrow, will be a corrective, as his theme this week is Roy Haynes.

[BillF]

"Turn Out the Stars V. III: More Jazz Elegies" on Night Lights from WFIU.

Some excellent selections here!

A lovely Scott Hamilton 'Stella By Starlight' followed by...

Well, Andy Sheppard's playing on 'I Wish I Knew' is lovely too - but the drum machine laying down a rhythmic straight-jacket underneath is straight for Room 101.
