Well, what did people think of this? Pretty good, I thought - if nothing else, I've now decided I must listen to On The Corner in full through my headphones tomorrow (I only listened to some today) - since I've just listened to the programme through headphones, and it helps feeling closer to the music.

One could almost feel the scorn of Laswell responding to Matthew Sweet's often inane - to me - line of questioning: "You speaking to me?" I thought Le Gendre saved it.

Admittedly I lost track of who was saying what - but I guess I've come not to have great expectations about these kinds of programmes. Like I say, it has whetted my appetite for listening to the album - helped by Chelsea Carmichael's description of her deep listening to it, and my own experience of listening to the programme through headphones.

The programme did make me want to listen to 'On The Corner' but a Miles Davis expert, such as Richard Williams, as presenter, would have made a vast improvement.

I would have to agree. I'm also grateful to Joseph K for reproducing his link to the entire recording from the session elsewhere.
