12midnight - Geoffrey Smith's Jazz
Known for his comic growls and slurs on the trombone, Vic Dickenson (1906-84) was also a laid-back, supple soloist and, in the 1950s, leader of a series of classic combo sessions featuring the likes of Edmund and Ruby Braff. Geoffrey Smith salutes a well-loved sliphorn star.

Thanks for activating the fine tooth comb and spotting this, JR. It doesn't appear to be a repeat of a similarly-titled programme of a few years ago.

[BLUESNIK'S REVOX]

And : a feature in today's (19/10/3018) New York Times..."A Sweaty Night Out in London’s New Jazz Scene", an enthusiastic piece all about the "New British Jazz" and the Ezra Collective (?) and the "Steam Down" night (?).

It's all hap hap happening in London town, it's the beat beatitude, the beat of the beat, where Jack Kerouac Jnr has a cup of Rosie Lee, writes free and says, "don't be put down by that old jazz bourgeoisie". But it's later for me.

Over on 6Music Gilles Peterson has a live British jazz special from the Maida Vale studios..
