Yes, nice show, even though I have #3,4,5,6,8 and 10 in my (admittedly small) record collection!

Yes, another excellent JRR:



  • Sidney Bechet Shake It and Break It
  • John Graas Mozartesque
  • Benny Goodman Bach Goes to Town
  • Kenny Graham Boom
  • Sister Rosetta Tharpe Precious Memories
  • George Shearing It Could Happen to You
  • Wes Montgomery Impressions
  • Ken McIntyre & Eric Dolphy They All Laughed
  • Stan Getz Heres That Rainy Day
  • Craig Milverton Carrot Cruncher
  • Dizzy Gillespie After Hours

Really fascinated by the 'classical' twiddling on the Graas (who I only know as a name) and Goodman. I've never much cared for Shearing but really enjoyed his 'It Could Happen To You' which kept threatening to turn into Chopin! The other one that lept out was the Sister Rosetta Tharpe - have to get that Proper Box out again.

Jazz Record Requests from BBC Radio 3

Now playing: Jimmy Rowles, "Ballad of Thelonious Monk" :lol:

Me too!

Be what the devil was "Neville Dickie — The Robin’s Return"? Sounded like Mrs Mills. I'm as bewildered as the chap who requested it said he is about most of what they play on JRR.

A new one on me, despite (or because of) his chart-busting activities!
