Hello. On 'The Jazz Hour' this week I have a real mixed-bag for you with tracks from Hoagy Carmichael, Teddy Wilson, Nat Adderley and Paul Chambers.

The super vocalist Kiera Battersby is this weeks' choice in the 'Back to Back' slot and 'keeping it in the family', I'll have a track from Kiera's brother Jason, who's just released an EP.

I'll have the final 'instalment' for the November 'Album of the Month' and I'll also be giving you details of where you can cast a vote to enable the 'Upton Jazz Festival' to claim a cash sum to support the festival in 2021.

So with much more to come, I do hope you'll join me on Sunday evening from 9pm here on Longside Radio.

Have a great weekend!!

Longside Radio - Where Variety Matters

1 week ago

Hello. We've all had to 'sacrifice' the many things we've come to expect over recent months and for many of us, it's 'live jazz festivals' and opportunities to see jazz musicians playing in front of live audiences. The following is a 'link', which, with your vote, could enable the 'Council of Management' for the 'Upton Jazz Festival' claim a much needed sum, to assist in seeing the 'Upton Jazz Festival' go ahead in 2021. It doesn't cost you anything..all you need to do is click on the link and vote for Upton.

Thank you in anticipation of your support!

Hello. There's a 'real air' of UK Jazz on the programme this week as I'll have tracks featuring Ronnie Scott, Tubby Hayes and Digby Fairweather.

This weeks' 'back to back' continues in the same vein with two tracks from a 2010 album from 'stalwarts' Alan Barnes and Ken Peplowski and the 'Album of the Month' follows with a track featuring the excellent saxophonist Pete Thomas.

So, for what promises to be a varied hour of Jazz, I do hope you'll join me on Sunday evening from 9pm here on Longside Radio.

Have a great weekend!!

Hello. Coming up on 'The Jazz Hour' this week, I'll have tracks from Muggsy Spanier, Mose Allison, Sam Jones and Bennie Moten to get through, plus a super 'Back to Back' from a 2019 album by Kim Cypher.

Pianist singer/songwriter Ollie West has just released a brilliant new single, entitled 'Shelf Life' and you 'regulars' may remember that Ollie's album 'Time Stood Still' was an 'Album of the Month' from last year.

The November 'Album of the Month' is entitled 'Midnight in the Naked City', released in 2011 by the London based saxophonist Pete Thomas and I think it really is just excellent.

There will of course be much, much more including a feature on this years' 'BBC Young Jazz Musician 2020' award. Good Luck to all five finalists taking part!!

So, all that leaves me to tell you is that, I start at 9pm on Sunday evening here on Longside Radio and I do hope you'll join me.

Have a great weekend!!
