Hello. On 'The Jazz Hour' this week I've got a real mixed bag of music for you featuring Count Basie, Earl Bostic, Jimmy Giuffre and Duke Ellington.

I've got the start of a new 'Album of the Month' for you featuring tracks from Ella Fitzgerald, who incidentally, is one of four 'birthdays' from the past week and in the 'Norman Granz Season' I'll be going back to September 1957 with a track from the 'Modern Jazz Quartet'

The Glenn Miller Orchestra is this weeks' 'Back to Back' and I'll have an update for you on the 'Pershore Jazz Festival' here in Worcestershire thats' been given the go ahead in August.

So, along with much, much more, I do hope you'll join me on Sunday evening from 9pm here on Longside Radio for some great jazz.

Have a great weekend!!
