5.00 Jazz Record Requests
Alyn Shipton's selection of listeners' requests today focuses on jazz at the dawn of new-age music, with a solo improvisation by flautist Paul Horn recorded inside the Taj Mahal. A founding father of new-age music, Horn pioneered music for meditation, and this programme marks the anniversary of his death last year at the age of 84.
Summat dodgy about Alyn's usual link, my computer sez!
Good Calmer, as Hindus say.
6.00 Jazz Line-Up
The second instalment of Loose Tubes in concert recorded in April at the 2015 Gateshead International Jazz Festival, presented by Claire Martin. The band - whose line-up reads like a who's who of the British jazz scene - re-formed last year to celebrate their 30th anniversary. This programme showcases their unique brand of high-energy big band jazz.
Always a moving experience...
12.00 Geoffrey Smith's Jazz
Geoffrey Smith explores how jazz and folk music share similar roots, drawing examples from a diverse range of works, including those of Lead Belly [sic], Jan Garbarek and Dizzy Gillespie
See you down the Troubadour, Old Brompton Rd, 1963 - Bob Dylan will pop in for a quick jam.
Monday 8 June
11.00 Jazz on 3
Jez Nelson introduces Norwegian sextet Motif in concert, led by bassist Ole Morten Vagan. Plus performances by pianist Kit Downes and cellist Lucy Railton's Tricko Tareco
Probably no relation to Brixton's Railton Road, and could contain nuts.
