Also worth noting:
Tues 28 Feb
1.00 pm Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert
Two JS Bach works followed by the concluding item from Belfast, a new commission titled Blush by, one presumes, the fine British jazz pianist Gareth Williams, who, like the American pianist Fred Hersh, has also worked with Norma Winstone.
And that same day, at 7 pm on Radio 2, Jamie Cullum talks to Donny McCaslin.
Not sure if this qualifies for inclusion here or the Jazz Fusion board, but Late Junction that same evening mentions The Combiner, by saxophonist John Zorn and Brit-born guitarist/bass guitarist Fred Frith, the latter once in Zorn's polystylistic band Naked City, as part of a programme themed to the music of machines.
