Hello. The 12th April was an important day for three 'jazzers' who celebrated a birthday over the years namely Herbie Hancock, Helen Forrest and Johnny Dodds and to recognise the fact I'll have tracks from all three on 'The Jazz Hour' this week. Add to that on the 'list' of birthdays I'll also have tracks from Carmen Macrae, Monty Sunshine, Bud Freeman, Gene Ammons and Shorty Rogers.

'The Basin Street Brawlers' are a lively band playing at this years 'Upton Jazz Festival' in June and it's their debut album 'It's Tight Like That' which is 'Album of the Month' for April and really good it is too.

Track 33 in the long running theme '100 to 1' is a track featuring the American bassist Charles Mingus.

Well thats' all to come plus much, much more, so I do hope that you'll 'join me' on Sunday evening from 9pm here on Longside Radio for a great hour of all things jazz.

Have a great and safe weekend!!

Hello. The 26th March last saw what would have been the 100th birthday of a legend of Birmingham jazz here in the UK, Andy Hamilton and in this weeks programme, and to mark the occasion I'll have a mini-showcase profile of the man and his music.

The 27th March over the years saw the 'arrivals' of another three jazz legends...Pee Wee Russell, Sarah Vaughan and Ben Webster and to follow suit as we say, I'll have a sample of their music.

Track 35 in the theme '100 to 1' is an offering from the Harlem born American pianist Bud Powell and as it's the first Sunday of a new month, I'll be introducing the April 'Album of the Month' from a band playing at this years 'Upton Jazz Festival', 'The Basin Street Brawlers'

But lets not forget the 'Album of the Month' for March from an American trio 'The Besser 3' and their album 'Time Travels', described as 'high concept classical jazz'...well I thought it was so good that it deserved another 'airing' this week.

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

I hope you're enjoying your Easter weekend here in the UK..just stay very safe!!

Hello. On 'The Jazz Hour' for this week I'll be bringing 'the curtain down' as we say on the long running theme 'The Age of Swing' courtesy of the BBC Big Band and talking of 'long running themes', but still with a bit to go yet...we're down to track 36 in the theme '100 to 1' and this weeks offering is courtesy of Wayne Shorter.

'The Besser 3' are a super trio of American based musicians whose album 'Time Travels' is 'Album of the Month' for March..but it's so good I think we'll have a track from the album next Sunday as well.

Earlier this week I met my good friend Jon Parsons from the Upton Jazz Festival committee at 'Henrys' coffee and book shop in Upton upon Severn and amongst the many things we discussed Jon was able to give me all the latest information on this years festival which is coming up in June.

Birthdaywise..I'll have tracks from Courtney Pine, Eliane Elias and Sweet Emma Barrett, plus of course much, much more..so set your timers, and don't forget the clocks go forward here in the UK this weekend, and if you remember to do that then as usual I'll be 'on air' from 9.00pm on Sunday evening here on Longside Radio for a super hour of all things Jazz.

Have a great and safe weekend!!
