6.15 Opera on 3: La Jezza ladra
Oh -wrong thread.
12.00 Geoffrey Smith's Jazz
Jazz titan Charles Mingus (1922-79) was one of modernism's foremost movers and shakers. Geoffrey Smith celebrates his work as bass virtuoso, composer and leader in such classics such as Goodbye Pork Pie Hat and Better Git It In Your Soul
Or Better Get Hit In Your Soul. Or even Better Get It In Your Soul. Two of the alternatives to which I've seen this gospelly 3/4 romp entitled.

Jazz on 3
A tribute to pianist and composer John Taylor, who died in July at the age of 72. Featuring archive performances and contributions from students, collaborators and friends.
Many British afficionadoes' top homegrown pianist. Anyone not listening to this will be sent down the Abergavenny Salt Mines for re-education.
This has just come to my attention too:
Weds 7 Oct
BBC Radio 2
10.00 pm Ralph Johnson: Jazz Epicenter 6-7
New series 1/4
The veteran Earth Wind and Fire percussionist and vocalist sets out to recreate the late night ambience of 24 hour jazz radio stations he grew up listening to in his native Los Angeles, where these four programmes have been recorded. Johnson was originally inspired by the collection of LPs with which his brother returned home from the US air force. Miles Davis, Wes Montgomery, Grady Tate and Quincy Jones all figure in tonight's inaugural playlist.
Shouldn't that be "all feature" - after all, their figuring is surely intrinsic to their existential reality?

. The music however, yes, I can live with that. Weather report II? -definitely not. Listening to Weather Report Live in Offenbach 1978 at the present - magic:. The 1970s is a much maligned decade IMV, particularly by those who weren't even there*!
