Apologies, first of all, for some mis-transcribed links to last week's programmes.
Sat 5 May
4pm - Jazz Record Requests
Alyn Shipton responds to listeners' requests for music across a wide spectrum of jazz, today including recordings by the doyen of jazz organists, Jimmy Smith.
5pm - J to Z
The cream of jazz past, present and future, including interviews and demos from musicians, today featuring a concert by drummer Al Foster, who during the 1970s played with Miles Davis.
12midnight - Geoffrey Smith's Jazz
Although tenor saxophonist Stan Getz won global fame for his beautiful tone and pulsating bossa novas, Geoffrey Smith highlights the eloquent valedictory recordings he made not long before his death in 1991, including sessions with pianist Kenny Barron and singer Abbey Lincoln
Sun 6 May - Radio 2
9pm - Clare Teal
A special show broadcast from backstage at the Cheltenham Jazz Festival with guests performing live and discussing their time at the festival. Featuring Kansas Smitty's House Band (as Clare's own house band), Corrine Bailey Rae and US singer China Moses, daughter of jazz singer Dee Dee Bridgewater.
Just to draw attention to this 2-hour long programme, which looks more interesting than usual!
Mon 7 May
11pm - Jazz Now
Soweto Kinch presents a concert by Shabaka Hutchings and the Ancestors, featuring Siyabonga Mthembu, Mthunzi Mvubu, Ariel Zomonsky, Tumi Mogorosi and Gontse Makhene.
Further apologies if I've misspelt any of those names.
