Going by what was in the doc, it will focus on the baroness more than the jazz I think, although Monk featured prominently in that prog as I recall. As I remember it, she moved from London to NY for a while in the 80s to stay with Nica for a period.
I saw her BBC documentary on this year’s ago and scanned the book around that time - the impression I got was that it didn’t add too much to what was in the programme but I may be wrong !
Sounds like it is either the King LP or Mosaic Grant Green/Sonny Clark set for that title on vinyl.
’Sweet Honey Bee’ tape loss not a total surprise but no mention of ‘Jody Grind’.
Very Interesting interview !
Up for this thread and the TV broadcast of ‘Original Peter’ by the BBC from 1970, with the Concert Jazz Band plus Norma Winstone. Totally bonkers but great !
Original Peter 1970
Where else can you see a Dave Holdsworth trumpet solo backed by a Punch and Judy show punch-up !
Canadian pianist and arranger who was based in Alberta and very active in Canadian broadcasting.
Yes, that’s him. I saw him a few times, at least once backing Judi Singh I think.
Careful selection is required with the pressings. Tone Poets and Acoustic Sounds Verve/Impulses are usually great - but priced accordingly. A fair amount of budget dross from dubious pressing plants out there. When vinyl is done correctly though and on the right equipment - hard to beat.
