[Serial_Apologist]

Hi! This is a belated post for my initial testing of the new site - please bare with me! Also, I didn't want to forfeit the heading I dreamed up just prior to the shut down!

Sat 15 July
5pm - J to Z

Julian Joseph presents Rebecca Nash and her band in session, and acclaimed multi-instrumentalist Joe Chambers talks about his inspirations.

N.B. This is a repeat programme.

Blimey, just popped by to see if it was working and it logged me in straight away. Amazing, and many thanks to those who put all the hard work in to make it happen.

In the interim I have bought and read Alyn (Shipton's) new book on the Gerry Mulligan's quartets of the 50s/60s, which actually covers a lot more. It really is excellent, very detailed, and has obviously taken a great deal of work. And it's very readable, I finished it in a day. Much recommended.

Just listening to this again right now thinking Indo-Jazz has been so much more interestingly done, with so many examples to go by with more accent on "India", I'm frankly unsurprised at the polite but lukewarm review in London Jazz News*. In some respects the interval tracks were the best part of the broadcast. Yazz's set was the better of the two, but how come they got rid of the audience for her - this was not a proper Prom at all? I would have staged a sit in!
