Alyn features Charlie Haden this week


JLU has no pbi and gets a featured group's name wrong: new releases plus an interview with legendary Jamaican pianist Monty Alexander. Plus concert music from the Filip Gers Quartet sic, the winners of the 2014 European Jazz Competition.

Geoffrey covers Artie Shaw ... no pbi ... why should we care R3? it aint art itsa playlist innit ....

Jon3 completes the Ten Summers Concert:

Trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith performing pieces from his work Ten Freedom Summers at London's Cafe Oto. After first broadcasting part of this performance in January, Jazz on 3 was inundated with requests for more - and this programme completes the set with previously unheard pieces. Smith's Golden Quartet featuring Anthony Davis on piano, John Lindberg on bass and Anthony Brown on drums is accompanied by the strings of the Ligeti Quartet: Mandhira de Saram (violin); Patrick Dawkins (violin); Richard Jones (viola); Ben Davis (cello)

That Leo Smith set was fine although the string section was nowhere as effective as on the original recording. Chez Utube for extracts for those of a mind.

Very nice interview with Monty Alexander. ..when he was allowed to finish a thought. Nice.
