    There's no Armon being Eger if you have a good Finnish

    Sat 5 Oct
    5pm - J to Z

    Julian Joseph presents a session by Finnish Pianist Iiro Rantala and his trio, featruring bassist Dan Berglund and drummer Anton Eger. And up-and-coming London-based keys player Joe Armon-Jones introduces tracks that inspire him and discusses his influences, from jazz to hip-hop to reggae.

    Live music from Finnish pianist Iiro Rantala. Plus Joe Armon-Jones' inspirations.


    12midnight - Geoffrey Smith's Jazz
    Geoffrey Smith compares and contrasts the music of singers Anita O'Day (1919-2006) and June Christie (1925-90), who were viewed as queens of big band singing in the 1940s and 50s. Both served alongside Gene Krupa and Stan Kenton, before going solo.

    I just typed "starved" instead of served! And this is a repeat.

    Geoffrey Smith compares the styles and careers of singers Anita O'Day and June Christy.

    Beginning to think JRR on Sunday might actually work out. The Sarah Walker "Sunday" programme is in the morning (9 to 12) and I think it's one of best of its kind. And recently she's played Mary Lou Williams and Hazel Scott tracks as a feature. So, maybe Sunday will be the new Saturday. Come Sunday.

      Interesting to hear the track with Guiffre, Bley and Swallow as I never got around by acquiring "Sunday" although I did have "Saturday" which was interesting. Sounds like they were using "What is this thing called love" as a starting point.
