Hi folks - if not folkies!

This time I'm taking time out from my weekly broadcasting announcements, to make way for the tributes. So, this thread is a take-it-or-leave-it opportunity for any comments on whatever is coming up. However, here is Alyn's list for JRR this coming Saturday:

Oh yes, in fact Alyn's list goes way back into the mists of time - as I discovered not long ago, just by scrolling down a short distance!

Plenty of mid-period Coltrane from Binker and Moses on today's JLU. Unless it's Paul Dunmall I have to say few have taken the sax 'n' drums duo much further in vocabulary expanding terms, so a whole concert or CD of the twosome would wear thin pretty quickly. I missed the announcement for the Murray/Takase track, but recognised that giddyfying sax approach immediately. There's playing on, and creatively off or surfing the beat, of which Murray does none, instead lurching around the smaller spaces than he recognises like some ghastly parody of poor old Ben Webster. Such early promise, now long time gone to waste, if I've spelt that right.

S-A in fact the blog on my website goes back to shortly after I took over on JRR when we (the JRR team) discovered the BBC had stopped posting full performance details. So if you ever wanted to search to find when something had been played on the show in the last five years or so, it's quite useful. The BBC R3 site now has the details (though not always fully accurate) pasted in below the ghastly "add music you live and enjoy it with My Tracks" stuff. Does ANYONE a) use that or (b) understand it? And is anyone who listens on the web finding inaccurate track into coming up when things are actually playing, or even, sometimes, on Listen again? It'd be useful to know.

Charles Mingus and that era of Coltrane/ Coleman was such a game-changer. Bop and hard-bop immediately became passé. An atomic explosion.........................

No, No and No -well almost. I have noticed the occasional track gone missing

Thanks Alyn.

No, no and don't know [don't usually listen on the web - either live terrestrial (FM) broadcasting or iplayer download.]

Oh and thanks for the blog, this is certainly sometimes useful for looking things up.

Cheers

Comments on what is coming up, and what has gone down. I'm certainly getting the impression from broadcasts this year, that Free Jazz is being toned down and entering the mainstream of Jazz.

If that is true of the Jazz world outside, that's good news for me, since my appetite for head-banging sessions has diminished with advancing years.

Just Saying .....
