Hello. Excitement is really growing now with the up and coming 'Upton Jazz Festival' which gets under way this coming week and on my Sunday evening 'The Jazz Hour' I'll be continuing the 'Upton' theme with tracks from some of the bands and artists taking part, along with much more information.

'Birthdaywise' from the past seven days, I've got tracks from two Eric's...saxophonist Dolphy and pianist Reed and in addition to a track from the 'Album of the Month', 'Long Story Short', I'll be telling you about the life so far of the 'author', the super cellist Shirley Smart.

Well thats all to come, plus much, much more, so why not join me from 9pm on Sunday evening evening here on Longside Radio, for some great jazz..Sunday evenings would just never be the same!!

Have a great weekend!!!

Hello. On 'The Jazz Hour' for this week, I'll be recognising the up and coming 95th birthday of the legendary cartoonist and clarinetist, Wally Fawkes who will celebrate his 95th birthday on Friday 21st June...amongst the many 'jazzers' he's played alongside is one of my favourites Humphrey Lyttelton.

I'll have more from the up and coming Upton Jazz Festival which gets underway in Worcestershire here in the UK later this month and I'll have another offering from the June 'Album of the Month', a super album entitled 'Long Story Short' from the London based cellist Shirley Smart.

There will of course be much, much more and as it's Fathers Day here in the UK on Sunday, I do hope all you Dad's out there will join me on Sunday evening from 9pm here on Longside Radio for some great jazz.

Have a great weekend!!

Hello. Have you ever heard of the UK jazz band 'High Society' and their album 'Moonlight and Roses'?..well I've confirmed that this particular band are not the same from Kendall here in the UK..so who are they? and thats a question I'm posing on 'The Jazz Hour' on this weeks' programme.

With little over two weeks to go now till the start of the 'Upton Jazz Festival' here in Worcestershire, I'll be continuing the theme 'The Countdown to Upton' with tracks from some of the bands and artists taking part.

'Birthdaywise' from the past seven days, I've got tracks from saxophonist Kenny G and Jamaican pianist Monty Alexander, plus a few more to make it all very interesting and varied.

The 'Album of the Month' for June is entitled 'Long Story Short' from the London based cellist Shirley Smart featuring amongst others, the awesome pianist John Crawford and I'll have a track from this album on Sunday evening.

There will of course be much, much more so why not join me on Sunday evening from 9pm here on Longside Radio for some great jazz.

Have a great weekend won't you!

Hello. 'Long Story Short' is the title of a new 'Album of the Month' starting on my programme this week, featuring the awesome talent of the London based cellist Shirley Smart.

'Birthdaywise' from the past seven days I'll have tracks from Dee Dee Bridgewater, Eugene Wright, of the Dave Brubeck fame, Benny Goodman and Chicago born pianist Ramsey Lewis.

I'll have another offering from the theme 'Jazz at the Movies', which takes me back to my schooldays, Oh, such a long time ago and with little under a month to go now until the start of the 'Upton Jazz Festival', this week I'll be continuing to focus on some of the bands and artists taking part under the header 'The Countdown to Upton'.

Well all thats' to come, plus much, much more, so why not join me from 9pm on Sunday evening, here on Longside Radio for some great jazz.

Have a great weekend and if your listening in the UK, hopefully, you'll be enjoying the sunshine!!

Look after yourselves!!
