Re. Cinematic Orchestra, so also https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0003ss2

I knew Tom Chant was in the country, but have only just noted that he and the others will be featured live during the Tom (not 'Tommy' ) Robinson programme a week come Sunday.

Make sure you keep up with Tom Chant's mums' show, Sound Out, on Resonance FM, Tuesdays 15:00, too. It gets repeated the following Saturday at 05:30, and also gets posted on Mixcloud.

I have to admit to not having associated the Cinematic Orchestra in name with a player like Tom Chant - having imagined a sort of post-Rave sort of equivalent to the ELO!!! This could be an interesting departure for Radio 2, if not an anomalous one, and I shall try and be in, to report back on it!

The Joanne Brackeen track played just now on Jay to Zee - Pheeeeewww!!!

I first heard JB in the mid-70s when she was much touted as a major new female voice in the music. TBF I felt she was an overrated McCoy Tyner clone I wasn't going to patronise out of feminist obligation, but now see I must have been completely wrong if that track was what to go by.

I liked Yazz Ahmed, but not so sure about her, to me, rather formulaic music. The Roller Trio's "latest" was just awful.

I was surprised to discover that JB was the only female member of Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers and worked with them from 1969-72.
As far as I know this edition of the Jazz Messengers recorded only one album with JB(piano); Bill Hardman(trumpet); Carlos Garnett(tenor sax) & Jan Arnet(bass):
