The Michael/Christian Garrick version of 'Here, There and Everywhere' had my fillings aching. Not sure if it was the over-Romantic arrangement or the violin! Could have chosen a more representative tribute.

Loved the Dolphy at the end - Music Matador - though it sounded more like a Rollinsesque calypso rather than anything Spanish.

Jazz Record Requests from BBC Radio 3

As so often, a really interesting playlist: Gordon Beck at Appleby, Stephane Grappelli with Phil Woods (how close violin and alto can be!), the heart of jazz with Basie, Sweets, Lockjaw and Zoot, and that favourite from my youth, "Slim's Jam".

If you listened very closely you could hear me clapping in the distance! Was it really 6 years ago!

Nice programme again.

As Pee Wee Marquette said, "That's my hands you can hear clappin' on that record!" :lol:

Ken Clarke's Jazz Greats from BBC Radio 4: Clifford Brown

That was a pretty nice program that KC hosted, with guest Abram Wilson. The musical selections were very good and anybody listening would leave it totally gob-smacked at just how brilliant a player Clifford Brown was. Still nobody has approached his level of hard bop trumpet playing, nearly 50 years after his passing.

Good to hear early playing by Harold Land too. Very under-rated in that era IMO - although he got a few more plaudits later.

KC for Prime Minister :D

But isn't KC a Europhile? :unsure:
