Jon3 looks promising:

Thomas Stronen's Time is a Blind Guide
Norwegian drummer Thomas Strønen presents his new project Time Is a Blind Guide in concert at the 2014 Cheltenham Jazz Festival.
Bringing together talent from both sides of the North Sea, including pianist Kit Downes, Strønen's sextet incorporates string and percussion mini-ensembles within it. It's a setting that gives the leader the opportunity to blend his passions for classical music and jazz through rich and melodic writing that also references Nordic folk, most obviously through the Hardanger fiddle of Nils Økland. Subtle string textures are offset by upbeat grooves and a strong sense of rhythmic interplay, in a performance featuring new material written especially for the festival.

always up for a touch of third streaming ....

Trish Clowes is due to be interviewed by Jamie Cullum on Radio 2 sometime during the next hour. Could be interesting from the pov of young musicians coming into jazz and education in this dane age.

Sorry - only just this minute spotted this!

Jon3 - nordic noodlin not as good as the soundtracks to Wallander and the Bridge et al ... boring

Thoroughly enjoyed Jamie Cullum last night, and it stood the test of time on iPlayer. There must be something wrong - I will have to see the doctor if this keeps occurring.

this one Oddball?

this one Oddball?

Oddball must have gone to bed, so I'll answer. That be the one, Calum. She played a track from a new album due out in the autumn, and very interesting it was too, by no means soft-centred stuff as found on her first. Somehow one sensed she would take a more radical route. As part of her listening she played Charles Lloyd Forest Flower saying it took her right back to being 17 again. It took me back to being 24!

Jamie tends to forefront singers rather a lot on his programme, which I suppose is understandable, and he does usually find interesting and unusual stuff to play.

Thanks S_A - listened last night on i-player.

Oddball may have just logged off (rather than nodded off) - I believe some people do from time to time
