A Lark Ascending Posted September 28, 2008 Report Posted September 28, 2008 (edited) This has built into a marvellous series that should be of wide interest. I believe the BBC player can be accessed internationally so a thread alerting to the upcoming programmes seems apposite. Unfortunately the new Betty Carter programme with Christine Tobin commenting isn't up (yet?). But there's a good rebroadcast of an earlier programme on Duke Ellington from 1940. Shipton talks with Pete Long who runs a UK Ellington tribute band. Has some interesting things to say: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b007tbdl Edited November 8, 2008 by Bev Stapleton Quote
Alexander Hawkins Posted September 28, 2008 Report Posted September 28, 2008 I love these programmes! Hearing one each on Tatum and Morton was really important to me when I was much younger. Great stuff! Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted October 2, 2008 Author Report Posted October 2, 2008 The Betty Carter programme is there now - only two days left. Well worth a listen - if only for Christine Tobin's lovely Irish accent! http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00dpt98 Quote
sidewinder Posted October 3, 2008 Report Posted October 3, 2008 if only for Christine Tobin's lovely Irish accent! She's a damn good singer too. Well worth catching in concert. Certainly seems to know her Betty Carter ! Quote
