In addition, Tues 12th's Late Junction on Radio 3 at 11.00 pm includes what the blurb says are new tracks from (among others) pianist Elliott Galvin, whom listeners may have caught playing with Laura Jurd (as it were) on last weekend's JLU.

I hope people weren't discouraged from listening to today's JLU, which included 3 numbers from the Focus gig listed on the link, but was otherwise not the repeat as stated there and in RT.

Thanks for that, Alyn.

Francis Albert and Johnny Hodges brought the sun to the pit heaps ....

JRR and JLU nothing if not democratic! It's good to hear a wide spread of Jazz. Alyn's programme brilliant, I thought. My favourite Horace Parlan, but it was good to hear Frank Sinatra as nature intended, and not that croaky old voice harking back to better times. Ella and Oscar, as they frequently are, curiously unsatisfying.

Could do without the chat interviews and presentations on JLU. I find Jazz musicians are often much less interesting when speaking about their music, than actually playing it (classical musicians often the converse!). But what happened to the playlist on JLU?
