4.00 Jazz Record Requests
Music by American saxophonist Charles Lloyd - still performing at 79 - features among this week's listener requests as Alyn Shipton showcases more celebrated jazz hits
No Jazz Line-Up this week - take your Mastersingers medecine like good children and don't complain now, it's better for you than jazz.
12.00 Geoffrey Smith's Jazz
Geoffrey Smith surveys the tumultuous career and fiery music of baritone sax player Serge Chaloff (1923-57)
Note that Moira Stuart's final thirteenth programme of her current series on Radio 2 this coming Sunday at 11 pm includes tracks by June Christy, Carmen McRae, Louis Armstrong, and Tony Bennett's 1963 Grammy-nominated "I Left My Heart In San Francisco" - ie marginally a more jazzy selection than she usually goes for. She's back in September, it says.
Mon 12 June
11.00 Jazz Now
Soweto Kinch presents Norwegian band Gard Nilssen's Acoustic Unity in concert at the Vortex, London, featuring Gard Nilssen on drums, André Roligheten on saxophone and Petter Eidh on bass.
Mr Eidh was on last week's, I thought, excellent programme.
