Our man in London lost the playlists

[Serial_Apologist]

Apologies for not being there to talk to Duncan H about his book on Sunday - my band was playing at the Bridport Literary Festival. (LJF didn't actually check the date with me before printing the brochure!) And BN, as I understand it, Karin and Bengt were not recorded for the radio, and sadly Bengt did not arrive in London until after our King's Place recording, so his place was ably filled by Ross Stanley. To the best of my knowledge, Marcus's only appearance on Radio 3 during this festival will also be his cameo on JRR. Thanks to all the many listeners who turned up - it was a most convivial evening.

Thanks, Alyn - Andy was fine doing the interview, fortunately!

Ross Stanley would have put his "all" into supporting KK, but that gig would I imagine, not having been there, have been a bit like having Larry Young standing in for Fats Waller!

Actually, S-A, you can hear Ross's sensitive and radiant accompaniment to Karin on this week's JRR show on the i-player. He had, it's true just come off the road with Maceo Parker, but he played absolutely beautifully for Karin, as he did a couple of years ago during Georgia Mancio's voice festival at the Pizza Express in Dean St.

While this year’s London Jazz Festival may technically have come to a close on Sunday, Jazz on 3 will be keeping it on the airwaves over the next few weeks with plenty of great music recorded over the last 10 days. And this week the festivities are two-fold as we celebrate the 70th birthday of a giant of the music.
Jack DeJohnette’s credentials are awe-inspiring – he’s helped sculpt the history of jazz for over half a century and has been the drummer in many groups that are immortalised in jazz folklore, playing alongside the likes of Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman and Keith Jarrett.
With such a story it’s always best to hear it straight from the source, so Jez was excited to be speaking to Jack in front of a live audience at the Southbank Centre, discussing the important topics of Miles, Charles Lloyd and leading projects such as The Jack DeJohnette Complex – a conversation you can hear on the programme.
Of course the centrepiece of the show is a hotly anticipated gig from DeJohnette and his quintet, a line-up yet to go into the studio. Reflecting DeJohnette's musical career, the group can swing hard but also has an at times free-ranging, loose approach, and an electronic, groove-led edge too, supplied by guitarist Marvin Sewell and George Colligan on keys, while reeds player Don Byron is a real star of the show. And then there's Jack himself – we don't need to describe his playing to convince you to listen in!

from the newsletter ... us pension stricken provincials need all the stuff we can get on R3!!!

Tut tut, there's me shouting me mouth off yet again...

[BLUESNIK'S REVOX]

Thanks for that Alyn. Yes Ms Krog was in fine voice and the piano was right there.

I was listening to her Jazz Moments album from '66 with Kenny Drew...hes remarkable behind her...so to speak.

BN.

Annoyingly confusing!

The JLU session to be relayed tomorrow night is billed as starting at 4 pm today. I didn't want to endure Larry's band tbf, and the festival programme says nothing about Sam Crowe also being on. Don't let me put people off listening tomorrow - Mr Crowe's combo is very good, and of course includes Ms Clowes. By the wayside I think I should mentioned it is indeed CLOWES, pronounced as in "clothes", now CLUES, Mr Nelson

Actually S_A, I was sure I heard Ms Clowes herself introduce herself as Trish CLUES on JLU last night - but I was half asleep at the time (as you do!).

Listening again today on i-player confirms this (55:27)

She might be on the door at tonight's Amersham gig - if so I'll try and find out the derivation of the name - that's assuming she knews!

[Serial_Apologist]

Ok her name is pronounced CLUES.

Trish comes originally from Staffordshire, and, thus pronounced, Clowes are quite widespread thereabouts.

BTW another new name to look out for is tenor saxophonist Tori Freestone; her band with Jez Franks (guitar) Jasper Hoiby (bass) and Tim Giles (drums, more than ably sitting in for James Maddren on some quite complex charts) fits in with the original eclecticism being shaped into place by up-and-comings such as Trish C and trumpeter Rory Simmons, went down a treat at the Amersham last night.

Now, would that be Tory, Torry or Toery?

still got mine, given to me by my Uncle George who was a General Foremen on open cast mines in the North east ... it fits me now, must have been a tent when i was 12!

worn all though university with jeans ... lecturers horrified at first because there were rows of us dressed alike and all sporting our working class defiance etc etc ... must have looked quite menacing in '64 ...

Yes the donkey jacket was a sartorial de rigueur for International Socialist (today, Socialist Worker) members back in the 70s, along with cloth cap... Us IMGers were just longhaired types togged up in army surplus store wares - you couldn't distinguish the wimmin...

ahem ... my working class defiance was seriously disorganised and hedonistic i'd have to say ...
