BBC Radio 3's 3-day Blue Note Records festival.

Why doesn't BBC Radio 3 have more classical music?

Why are there so many record stores?

Interesting! There was a time when you heard Joe Farrell's name a lot - particularly when he was Elvin Jones's sideman. But, like you, I hear nothing about him nowadays. A quick search tells me that he died tragically at the age of 49 in 1986 from bone cancer. Amazon.uk is offering three used copies of Vim 'n Vigor, one at reasonable price, two super-inflated!

Listening online to yesterday's Jazz Record Requests from BBC Radio 3. Now playing: Jay McShann, "The Duke and the Brute" from Jumpin' the Blues.
