On the Lash.

[Serial_Apologist]

Sat 26 June
5pm - J to Z
Julian Joseph with the finest new jazz alongside classics of the genre. Plus guests, today with English bassist Dave Holland sharing some of the music that inspired him as a young musician. Holland, who is now 74 and has worked with Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk and Chick Corea, describes the big impact that John Coltrane's A Love Supreme had on its release in 1965.

12midnight - Freeness
Corey Mwamba with new jazz and improvised music, tonight with selective and spacious improvising from a British quartet featuring John Russell on guitar, Mark Sanders on drums, Dominic Lash on double bass and John Butcher on saxophone.

John passed away last January, which one would have thought might have been mentioned in RT.

Lovely just now hearing Dave Holland introducing his favourite tracks. Of all the luck he and his partner were sat directly in front of me at one of the later Kenny Wheeler Big band concerts, I think it was for Kenny's 80th birthday, held at the Royal Academy, and played half of the gig. The other half was Chris Laurence, about whom Dave Holland was generous with praise. A thoroughly nice, friendly man.

He's exactly thirty days older than me, a fellow October Scorpio, a fact which I regularly find extremely reassuring! Him still being here, active and enthusiastic! And a fine selection picked. And just before, really liked the Hank Jones/DH, Billy Higgins track played.

JRR now... listening

Jenny Green

Title Don’t Sleep In The Subway

Composer Jackie Trent / Tony Hatch

Album Always and Forever

Label Jennygreensings

Number JG002 Track 1

Duration 3.00

Performers Jenny Green, v; Adrian York, p; Neville Malcolm, b; Winston Clifford, d. 2021

WTF? I know it's "listeners requests" so...but this "in a jazz setting" eg? is bad Burnley working mens club c. 1978. And I can't even get Stacey Kent played who is at least can phrase be in tune and "aware".

Just weird.

[Quarky]

Matters picked up after Jenny Green, culminating in Carmen Mcrae ( It's over now - not Well you needn't?)

IMV, Alyn could afford to be more selective, and cut out one or two items, so that we could have heard the longer track "My Favourite Things" in full.

Awful, wasn't it?! I know what Alyn will say - if we want quality product we have to flood the request department with demands for better. Have you been turned away?

The programme is becoming increasingly catholic in what it includes. If I had a tape of my Mum playing Zez Confrey's Kitten on the Keys I'd send it and ask for it...

[BLUESNIK'S REVOX]

I'm not having a go at Alyn who understandably is guided and constrained by what's requested, and obviously that's now much wider a wider palette than my tastes. But that was atrocious by anyone's standards and had precious little to do with jazz. I've been fortunate in the past so ...

[Alyn_Shipton]

Don't think Zez himself would get played let alone your mum, SA.
I have played tracks up to about 11 minutes in full, but Fav Things runs well over 13. Then people write in moaning that their request for the Hot Five or Jelly Roll Morton hasn't been played because of some other stuff that went on too long...
And apart from Jenny Green what else would boardees have dropped? Ella + Louis, Garner? Miles? Carmen?

The irony is that those with traditionalist tastes will ask for more shorter tracks, recorded in the pre-LP era. The other tracks on today - fine. As with Bluesie I've had occasions to question selections, but with the brief now covering areas not elsewhere catered for on any BBC network, for the many deplorable reasons frequently discussed elsewhere on the forum, I keep schtum.

[BLUESNIK'S REVOX]

Just out of interest and because I vaguely remember it from the time, there was a popular 1961 Atlantic 45 single of Coltrane's My Favourite Things, that was played a lot on French radio back then. Sides one and two running to a total of 5.40 something, with a very heavy edit of McCoy's piano solo after about a chorus. I think Frank Tunot who was "big" in French jazz radio at the time was in the Atlantic studio when Trane recorded the full take...so maybe he had something to do with the radio friendly version...anyway here's the "short" ....

Oh, I'll try and think of something - 5 minutes or thereabouts, current young British musician, e.g. Yazz Ahmed, Shabaka Hutchings, Nubya Garcia, - not too "difficult" and not too commercial.....

Yes, it was awful, but it'll take more than that to drive me away!
