Excellent programme - loved Dave Gelly's enthusiastic but enlightening commentary. I actually felt I was learning something about the music rather than having some critic's abstract theory read onto it.

[JohnS]

Yes, excellent programme. Gelly's comments certainly make me want to dig the records out.

[sidewinder]

My internet feed crashed half way through the 'Roll Call' track. At least it's available for another 7 days.

[BillF]

Have almost all the records in my collection, but as people have remarked, Gelly's comments certainly gave food for thought. Hearing Hank live - as opposed to on Blue Note records - made him realise Hank's quietness. For me it was the sheer beauty of his sound, something that never drew my attention on the records.

[DukeCity]

Thanks for the heads-up.

I love the fact that on the BBC R3 player, the volume "goes to 11"!
