Jazz Record Requests

But where's the playlist? Rubbish website!

The BBC varies on this - sometimes it's up straight away, sometimes later. Especially annoying on BBC 4's 'Something Understood', a 30 minute religion/philosophy programme made up of someone's thoughts, readings and the most bizarre mixture of music. I'm always hearing something I want to track down but then have to wait a day until the playlist appears.

I must admit I don't look at the JRR list until after a track has been played - I like to be surprised.

Really enjoying the 'Basra' version of 'Lazy Afternoon' at present. Must play that disc again.

Moi aussi (as one of his teachers might have said)

'The Way You Look Tonight' from 1953

First heard it on JRR in 1977 - one of the first proper 'jazz' pieces to catch my ear.

Bought it on this bizarre twofer putting two of the college albums together:

Dave-Brubeck-The-Art-Of-Dave-B-556482.jpg

One of the first pieces where I found myself following the variations of the soloist (Desmond - even then I tended to woolgather once Dave himself started).
