... it bore not beauty's name

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

Alyn Shipton presents listeners' requests in all styles of jazz with music this week from Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington and Mike Westbrook.

JLU features the James Taylor Quartet [no b********* opera this week] and Kevin profiles Alternating Currents by Denys Baptiste ... all sterling stuff eh ....

A teenage trumpet prodigy, Lee Morgan won crossover stardom with his irresistibly groovy hit, "The Sidewinder". Geoffrey Smith surveys the meteoric career that was cut short by his death in a shooting at just 33

just had the Sidewinder on the Album for Today thread

Warm melodic themes and Americana tones characterise the music of Stephan Crump's Rosetta Trio, where the bassist is joined by fellow stringsmen Liberty Ellman and Jamie Fox, both on guitars. Crump leads from the centre with an unfaltering sense of time and feel, shaping pieces through lilting bass grooves while his bandmates - Ellman on acoustic and Fox on electric - entwine beautiful lines and solos. Here in performance at London's Vortex jazz club, the group sound at their most intuitive.

Crump also joins Jez Nelson in the studio where he is put to the 'MP3 Shuffle' test, revealing an unexpected mix of listening pleasures and influences

warm americana huh ....

My schoolmate liked Bill Doggett, so thanks for that, it'll be first time since 1963 for me. "Why's that?" I asked him one day. "Because it's mainstream, not modern", he told me.

And my request for Kurt Rosenwinkel is also being played today...excellent

[BLUESNIK'S REVOX]

I bought the Bill Doggett on a 45 c.1960. Flip of "Ram Bunk Shush". My first real/then girlfriend ( Tessa) said..."Ow I dont like this! Put the Everleys on".

GIRLS EH?

Lovely relaxed guitar from Billy Butler. Tenor from Percy France.

[BLUESNIK'S REVOX]

Jezz...the "leaf shreading" banjo on that Ken Colyer JRR record....I thought I was back in 'Nam or it was one of Obama's drones. I hid under the table.

Its against my HUMAN RIGHTS.

Mofu.

If Gwilym and Yuri are on form as they were during the second half of their Oxford gig, it'll be worth hearing: http://www.londonjazznews.com/2014/0...-goloubev.html

Mark Turner's in Brum this week: http://www.bcu.ac.uk/pme/conservatoi...urner-20-03-14

Heads-up to those closer than I.

This trio impressed me last night - I gawped, then bought their CD thinking, they've got some nerve! Elliot is Laura Jurd's piano player, and like her work (and that of several young groups I've observed latterly) the emphasis is on short compositions, tight structures, and awkward time signatures and subdivisions of same, speaking seemingly of lives so unrelentingly jumbled today there's no chance to stretch out and just let it go where it deems fit. Some may say this is just novelty music, today's Zez Confrey; I'd have to disagree: there's real musicianship and insight here:

PS - Anyone notice any resemblance between the drummer and Frank Zappa?

[Old Grumpy]

If Gwilym and Yuri are on form as they were during the second half of their Oxford gig, it'll be worth hearing:

Note this gig is at 1300h, not 1930h as suggested in EA's post on the Live in Concert thread.


P.S. Perhaps somewhat ironic that this photo is brought up by the BBC R3 link given Callum's title to this thread
