BillF Posted April 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 (edited) Jazz Record Requests from BBC Radio 3 Great show this week! The opener, Tubby Hayes playing "Dance of the Aerophragytes" (just a blues, actually) in 1955 at the age of 20, was a revelation to me. Hadn't heard him before he developed the capacity to run all over the horn, so what we had was a beautiful Bird distillation.

Ending with an all-time favourite - the Miles Sextet version of 'On Green Dolphin Street'. The Jimmy Guiffre really caught my ear - I have that somewhere and will play it now. Really liked the Dizzy G too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillF Posted April 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 A very good show for me, as very little of it was in my collection - the Miles, of course, as well as the Dizzy from Have Trumpet, Will Excite! (Saw the Dizzy group, too! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillF Posted April 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Only managed to catch the last 10 minutes of the Jazz Library show on Al Cohn, so must listen to the rest later on the iPlayer. I know Al isn't a tenor giant like Hawk, Pres Rollins or Trane, but where my personal favorites are concerned, he's up there! Some fine stuff on Jazz Record requests. For me, the standout track was Irene Kral with Alan Broadbent. Must get some of that in my collection! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth listening to - not my centre of gravity but interesting and very enjoyable music. Yes, the Kral really struck me too - I've already eye'd up the recording it was from on e-music. Enjoyed all sorts of things outside my usual comfort zone - Jess Stacy, Miff Mole, Barbara Lea, even Ottilie Patterson and Chris Barber doing Shakespeare!

BillF Posted April 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 An archived program of "Night Lights" featuring Freddie Webster, "The Man Before Miles". Night Lights I remember that show! So interesting to hear Miles and Dizzy sounds in this little heard trumpeter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only caught a bit of the Cohn but those great tracks from the Newman/Cohn/Green Mosaic Select have propelled that particular Mosaic to the top of my pending list.

StarThrower Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 Rick Petrie's Northstar Sounds is the only jazz show I'm currently listening to. Mostly avant garde/free jazz, with other stuff mixed in to keep it interesting. Tuesday nights on WGMC-FM 90.1 Rochester, NY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
