Hello. I do hope that you'll join me for your weekly 'Jazz Hour' on Sunday evening for some great music.
Coming up in this weeks programme I'll have another 'instalment from the September 'Album of the Month' featuring the super vocals of Val Wiseman who takes the lead in an album recognising the wonder of Billie Holiday.
Track 58 in the theme '100 to 1' takes in a track from the renowned trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie and in the 'birthdays' I'll have tracks featuring Wilber Ware, Sonny Rollins and Elvin Jones.
I'll be giving you some more details of a 'jazz workshop' taking place for you youngsters out there to perfect your talents and I'll also be doing a feature on the London born jazz musician Ant Law, who is about to release a latest album.
Will despite all that, there's still chance for you to contribute with a request or dedication, as always by email please, to studio@longsideradio.co.uk.
Have a great weekend and I look forward to your company on Longside Radio from 9.00pm on Sunday evening.
