as S_A has posted do not miss JLU today celebrating Art Themen's 75th birthday [worth a double post eh]
nb no info on playlist posted
Geoffrey does Blue Note the early years and it would be delightful to know what he will be playing but no information is posted - a serious blot on the copy book of an otherwise endearing programme
Jon3 features modern jazz from Berlin live in London as part of the EFG London Festival
what is in a playlist eh ... a decision is what; whether or not, and how best, to listen
the iPlaylister is not merely unfit for purpose[late and wrong/clumsy beyond tolerance] it is an insult to the listener
more for Ian T

Underpinning the sounds of this week's programme is drummer Christian Lillinger - one of Germany's most exciting and energetic young players, who also featured recently on Jazz on 3 with his large ensemble Grund. Here taking to the stage at London's Vortex, it's a focus on the trio setting that allows his prowess at the kit to shine.
Lillinger is joined by Philipp Gropper on saxophones and Ronny Graupe on 7-string electric guitar in Hyperactive Kid - a band together now for over a decade, who tackle free-flowing and agile music with a typically restless spirit. And in Starlight, the drummer is met in the low frequencies by Swedish-born bassist Petter Eldh - known for causing a stir in groups such as Django Bates' Belovèd. With alto saxophonist Wanja Slavin completing the line-up, they explore spiralling grooves and layered rhythmic interplay with the intent to "mess with people's heads and give the jazz mainstream an alternative".
