How that takes me back! They were great live. Particularly remember the wittily-titled "Bring Back the Burch", corporal punishment being still an issue in British politics at the time. http://www.cduniverse.com/search/xx/music/pid/6801162/a/Roarin'.htm

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 But isn't KC a Europhile?

Jazz 'til Dawn from WKCR Now playing, Duke Ellington, Far East Suite

I once taught a student called Clifford Brown and admit I went out of my way to find opportunities to address him by his full name.

Thanks, Eric, I'll give it a listen.

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!"

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".
