With Alyn Shipton, live from Southbank Centre
Pop up and say hello if you happen to be in the Festival Hall, first floor facing the river.
5.00 Jazz Line-Up
From Southbank Centre in London, Kevin Le Gendre presents recordings of performances from guitarist Jim Mullen and his trio featuring organist Mike Gorman and drummer Tristan Mailliot [to give him his correct spelling: hello, is anyone taking notice?]. Plus music from New Focus Quartet co-directed by pianist Euan Stevenson and saxophonist Konrad Wiszniewski. [Think that's the correct spelling
]
12.00 Geoffrey Smith's Jazz
A celebration of British jazz singer Norma Winstone, who has inspired composers such as Kenny Wheeler, excelled at free improvisation and standards, composed lyrics and led her own innovative groups. First broadcast in May 2015.
Norma is a heroine of mine, and this is well worth hearing again.

11.00 Jazz Now
Live music from London's Southbank Centre by Ralph Wylde's Mosaic and Jason Rebello. Presented by Soweto Kinch.
It's been a while since I've heard anything of Mr Rebello.
Also worthy of mention is Monday's Composer of the Week, from 12 noon to 1 pm, just for that one day featuring Anoushka Shankar, daughter of the famous Ravi (who turned 'Trane onto Indian Raga, but you all knew that), together with a number of Asian performers active across the , er, Indo-Jazz divide, such as Nitin Sawhney.
