4.00 Jazz Record Requests
Alyn Shipton presents listeners' requests in all styles of jazz, including music by trumpeter Buck Clayton, the one-time Count Basie soloist who led a series of all-star jam sessions in the 1950s and 60s.
Caesar adsum iam sessions forte, Brutus aderat, my Latin teacher told me.
5.00 Jazz Line-Up
With Claire Martini. A performance by UK saxophonist Andy Sheppard and Italian pianist Rita Marcotulli, recorded in April 2015 at the Gateshead International Jazz Festival
NB - this is a repeat.
12.00 Geoffrey Smith's Jazz
Louis Armstrong's revered cornettist Joe "King" Oliver aka "Papa Joe" (1885-1938) brought Satchmo to fame with his fabled Creole Jazz Band. Geoffrey Smith selects records by Oliver and later admirers such as Wynton Marsalis
"O play that thing!"
Mon 25 July
11.00 Jazz Now
Netherlands-based trio Tin Men and the Telephone play concerts that interact with an app operated by the audience. Here, Soweto Kinch presents their show from the 2016 Norfolk and Norwich Festival.
Give the audience what the audience gives itself sounds like an ad person's nightmare!
Just to mention the final one of the R3 4-parter mentioned last week is on Tuesday 26 July 10.45 pm:
The Essay: Meeting the Giants of Jazz
Martin Gayford describes his encounters with pianist Jimmy Rowles, who achieved success as a soloist and a vocal coach in Hollywood
Norma Winstone made Rowles's "The Peacocks" even better, imo, by putting some lyrics of her own to it, whereby (have to be careful here...) it became "A Nameless Place", though everyone who plays it still always calls it "The Peacocks" while name-dropping Norma Winstone. Like I just done. They ain't singing her lyrics, like, so I s'pose that sorta makes it all right, yeah. Just sayin', Norma!
If it doesn't come up in the prog, the story Norma tells about getting to record that song with Jimmy is pretty amazing.
