Nigel Kennedy playing jazz at the Proms

[ejp626]

This should be up for another three days or so: Proms Page

The one I am referring to is Prom 3: Nigel Kennedy playing in a jazz quintet. It's just under 2 hours, and they end with Jimi Hendrix's Third Stone from the Sun (I guess in the tradition of Turtle Island String Quartet). Anyway, I thought it was interesting.

The BBC music player has been redesigned and is going through some teething problems, esp. for those outside the UK. It looks like the content is coming back online, but for a week we outsiders missed out on World Routes (an apparently amazing concert by Either/Orchestra and the Ethiopiques All-Stars) and less crucially the World on 3 broadcast of July 14. It's a long-shot but if anyone taped either of these two shows, please PM me. Thanks.

(Actually there are some YouTube clips of this Ethiopiques concert, and I will gather them up for a different post, but I'd still like to hear what the BBC recorded if at all possible.)
