A Lark Ascending Posted September 6, 2008 Report Posted September 6, 2008 29th Sept to 3rd October For non-Brits, 'Composer of the Week' is a long running series that each week plays an hour of a specific composer from Monday-Friday. A classical music series on a classical station, it has occasionally made jazz composers its topic. I can recall the outraged letters in the Radio Times when Duke Ellington was made Composer of the Week in the late 70s. Mingus will follow Faure, Schutz, Lord Berners, and Brahms in the preceding weeks. Wonder what they'll play? Quote
sidewinder Posted September 6, 2008 Report Posted September 6, 2008 That's great news ! 'Goodbye Porkpie Hat' must be a shoe-in. 'Half-Mast Inhibitions' and 'Fables of Faubus' maybe less so.. Quote

Royal Oak Posted September 6, 2008 Report Posted September 6, 2008 "Better Git It In Your Soul" would be an ice-breaker. Quote

BillF Posted September 6, 2008 Report Posted September 6, 2008 Mingus will follow Faure, Schutz, Lord Berners, and Brahms in the preceding weeks. Wonder what they'll play? With a line-up like that, there's no knowing what they'll play Quote
