Can't see the JRR playlist for Sunday's show yet but I hope the Richard "Groove" Holmes track is his version of Song For My Father.

I'll wager it's Misty, which I recall was a hit for Groove.

'Play Misty for Me!", said Liz Truss, waving a Stanley knife after downing a third bottle of Chardonnay.

* Just now from Alyn..."Groove Holmes was billed in Radio Times, but has been postponed to make room for the Pharoah Sanders track that closes the programme. He will be heard on 16 Oct."

Yes the mystery continues but good one Alyn for fitting in "You've Got To Have Freedom" in at short notice. Eddie Henderson delivers a superb performance on that track too.

Sadly, Eddie Henderson is not present on the 10-minute version of 'You've Got To Have Freedom' from the 1987 album 'Africa' to be played on JRR.

Thouhtthat the music on J-Z yesterday was more depressing than watching Saints inept perfomance against Everton. The best track was by Rhoda Scott whereas some of the more contemporary stuff seemed much of the same cut and paste modishness. I lived the Engkish saxophonist debut album track to begin with but it seemed to turn in to a facsimile of jazz. The ECM track by the German pianist was lucklustre - indicative of how "formal" jazz has become. A kind of technical exercise which is cold and unwelcoming yet far too polite to make you prick upyour ears but a fitting aural representation of Southampton's forwards yesterday!"

The Joey DeFrancesco section was excellent but much of J to Z seemed bland with little jazz content.
