Jumoké Fashola with a showcase of the finest new jazz. Plus, guests, today with composer and band leader Maria Schneider discussing her two great mentors, Gil Evans and Bob Brookmeyer. Plus concert highlights from Finnish pianist Iro Haarla, backed by a new quartet featuring veteran Finnish saxophonist Juhani Aaltonen.

12midnight - Freeness
A 2019 gig by British project Black Top, founded by keyboardist Pat Thomas and multi-instrumentalist Orphy Robinson, joined by bassist William Parker, drummer Hamid Drake and guest vocalist Elaine Mitchener, recorded at Café Oto in east London. Plus a wordless chorus from the Chicago Modern Orchestra Project directed by Renée Baker.

A gig I greatly regret having missed - wonder if anyone else from the forum was there.

Just to mention there are lots and lots of women composers being featured in next week's classical offerings, many of them names new to me at any rate.

Much as I am enjoying today's J to Z, I've missed some of the titles, and it's a shame one can no longer click on played items on the iplayer to find out more details about the recordings without needing to go off-piste for that purpose. Or am I suffering from false memory syndrome?
