ornette Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) I was at school when ALS came out and have many memories of listening to the lp with school friends and being transfixed. I enjoyed the programme a lot. Good mixture of history and insight. Worth catching if you can. Edited February 10, 2015 by ornette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clunky Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 I heard most of this in the car this afternoon. I'll need to listen again. Jason Yarde seemed very perceptive in his comments as was Evan Parker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnS Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Decent programme. Kept my attention and learnt a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) Enjoyed the show but shame that Courtney P. didn't interview Don Rendell for reminiscences. I've heard that Don had a long chat with Coltrane after that Gaumont Kilburn 1961 gig. Can't believe that that cinema is now a church ! Used to pass it regularly on the bus up and down the Edgware Road. Edited February 15, 2015 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeBop Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Off topic: is there a thread on the WBGO/Mos Def show? It wasn't great, but it was intriguing to tune in about two minutes after start and not know who was hosting until the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Didn't expect a lot but got more than I expected - always a good thing. Makes me want to play the record again - also a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deepak Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 I enjoyed it as well, cool to hear musicians talk about what it meant to them and break it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Lark Ascending Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Heard this on the World Service last night. Very enjoyable. Courtney Pine's anchoring suffered from that BBC thing of getting stars to introduce these programmes - sounded like a read script for a BBC educational programme. Always much better when they have professional commentators. However the more natural discussion between Nat Birchall, Finn Peters and Jason Yarde in the second half was very good. Got down to trying to explain the music as music rather than waffling about spirituality (though there was a bit of that). Good programme.
