jazzkrow Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 I'm getting a Grundig shortwave radio(Yachtboy 400 PE) soon-primarily to pick up Jazz on BBC. Does anyone know the frequency for BBC and what times/days (on the West Coast) I can pick up BBC jazz shows-i.e.Humphrey Lyttleton, etc. Any other shortwave suggestions for Jazz from other countries?? I imagine I would not be able to pick up much during daylight hours, right? Thanks! -Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 I can only help with British times but Monday nights on Radio 2 is the Humph & bg band shows. Friday afternoon on Radio 3 is Jazz legends - a weekly look at a different artist for an hour. Friday night on Radio 3 (11.30 GMT) is the magnificent Jazz on 3 , a contemporary jazz programme. Saturday afternoon from 4.00 (GMT) are thee jazz programmes Jazz Line Up , Jazz record requests & Jazz file. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/jazz/index.shtml http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/r2music/jazz/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Lark Ascending Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 If you've got a high speed connection you'd be better listening on-line. All these programmes are archived for a week so you can replay them at leisure. Can I recommend one on BBC Radio Scotland called 'Bebop to Hiphop' - very catholic, lots of Blue Note as well as more contemporary releases: http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/radioscotlan...how.shtml?bebop This is the current playlist: NEFERTITI - NICOLA CONTE BONITA - HORACE SILVER QUINTET HOT HOUSE - DIZZY GILLESPIE & HIS ALL STAR QUINTET SALAAM: TAGI - CHARLES LLOYD & BILLY HIGGINS RIGHT NOW - JACKIE McLEAN MINOR PEACE - JACOB YOUNG THE WHOPPER - EBERHARD WEBER(GARY BURTON) SENT FOR YOU YESTERDAY (AND HERE YOU COME TODAY) - COUNT BASIE Followed by an hour of dancefloor jazz and Latino tracks. Part two is normaly more like part 1. Wednesday: 19.15 - 21.00 repeated Sunday 22.05 - 24.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Williams Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 If it helps you synchronise time zones: it's now 16:30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 The program "Jazz Record Requests", referred to above, will not be broadcast again until May 1. Wagner's Ring (from the Met this time) makes one of its regular interventions. Doubt Richard would have been a jazzer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Lark Ascending Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 I still await the day when a live broadcast from the Bath Jazz Weekend cancels "Record Review" or "This Week's Composer"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
