Radio 2 Sun 29 Oct
9.00 Clare Teal
Big band and swing, tonight with jazz singer Liane Carroll at the Elton John piano performing songs from her new album The Right to Love.

Liane is one big generous ball of Soul, who I shall never forget buying everyone drinks at the other Elton's (the real one's) wake. That's two hours-worth of this smashing lady. People maybe don't know she's pretty good on the joanna too - well, much better than me!

11.00 Moira Stuart - 7/13
Easy listening records and timeless standards, tonight featuring hit songs associated with Benny Goodman as performed by Louis Armstrong, Shirley Horn, John Dankworth and Diana Krall. Moira also showcases Blue and Sentimental - Cleo Laine's 1994 album of standards.

Mon 30 Oct
11.00 Jazz Now
Soweto Kinch introduces a concert by international supergroup Aziza, featuring Lionel Loueke, Chris Potter, Dave Holland and Eric Harland. Plus Al Ryan has the latest uploads from BBC Introducing.

The name Aziza forms a palindrome, being the same spelt forwards or backwards. Just thought I'd show off my know-all side.

Also, just to mention American-born alto saxophonist Caroline Kraabel's name appearing on Thursday 2 Nov's Late Junction (11 pm). Caroline is the missus of that fine bass player John Edwards, whom the more fastidious of our avant-gardistes will connect with Paul Dunmall and Evan Parker, in particular.

"They lived and loved and laughted and left" - Finnegan's Wake.

Not sure if you saw it, continuity your link, but there's a track on JRR from Keith Tippet with Elton Dean, Marc Charig and (the former pupil of Clytha infants school and Newport High School for Boys - posh girls with pre Raphaelite hair were installed next door

Allroooooti...

BN.

That was Keith's first official recording with the personnel he'd picked up at Barry Summer School a couple of summers previous, including Nick who, as you say..and Jeff Clyne's first-ever time on bass guitar, someone once told me, though he was on temporary loan from Ian Carr's Nucleus at the time, which raises a few questions, and would shortly be replaced by Hugh "the Hopper" from Soft Machine. What a musically fertile period that was - people too young to have been around have wept for what they missed out on when I've played them recordings from the time.

The best of times, the er....

I can remember Nick trying to learn "The Chimes" in his bedoom. Me, very superior(sic), had a Mulligan/Brookmeyer EP. He was staunch trad in those days...aged about 13.

As was Keith Tippett, prior according to him to hearing "Kind of Blue". There was a publican in Bristol who claimed to have a reel-to-reel of Keith Tippett's Trad Lads, who, when we asked, said he no longer had the equipment on which to play it, and in any case we would have been embarrassed. Keith: "Acker we treated as a local hero down here".

In one of KT's interviews he said that the "Trad Lads" were officially too young to go in pubs, so they had to get the banjo player's father to chaperone them. So, banjos do have a use after all...

Always liked that Dizzy Quintet with Junior Mance and Les Spann. "My Man". I had that album umpteen years ago plus. Must buy it again. Shame Spann had issues, he doubled* flute and guitar really well and gave the group a different dimension. *No, not at the same time.

He's to be interviewed on the programme on at this moment.

We also just heard that Charlie Watts spent time in Denmark in the early 1960s; one wonders when he wold have found the time, unless either this was prior to joining the Stones or in after-hours joints on tour. You can't always play when you want.

"Before Charlie Watts became the best known drummer on the planet with The Greatest rock ‘n’ Roll Band in the World he lived for a few months in Denmark. According to English trumpeter and flugelhorn player, Gerard Presencer, who is also a member of the Danish Radio Big Band, it was something he only found out about by chance when he and Charlie talked on the telephone in 2009"....He was over there in connection with the London ad agency he worked for as a trainee graphic designer. And to see the Mermaid in the harbour.

Totally agree, S_A - Liane is a star. I will certainly be listening to this - although we will certainly be in for two hours of Clare Teal, but probably just short of one hour of Liane Carroll, based on previous listening experience of Ms T's show.
