Hello. On 'The Jazz Hour' this week I'll be taking a look at a trio of bass players in various arrangements who I like to put it 'hold it altogether on bass'..who are they?..well how about Sam Jones, Oscar Pettiford and Percy Heath.
In amongst the 'birthdays', I've got tracks from drummers Grady Tate and Gene Krupa, and pianist Horace Parlan, all of whom would have celebrated a birthday over the past week.
I'll have another 'instalment' from the 'Album of the Month' for January, an album entitled 'Mirage' from the super reeds player Alex Clarke.
There will of course be some more 'jazzy surprises' thrown in, so why not 'take the plunge' and join me from 9 o'clock on Sunday evening here on Longside Radio!!
Enjoy the weekend, stay safe and I look forward to your company!!

It is with GREAT Pleasure and Excitement that we announce the signing of the band Rendered Heartless to our company Diminished Pitch Entertainment. We have just sent you by EMAIL the songs "Mirror Wall" and "Under Belly Of The Snake" which are cleared by the band to be used by you and your radio station. We are excited to sign this Hard Driving and melodic hard rock and metal band from Southern Texas. We are glad that they are allowing us to help them rise to the "next level". As they have been a fixture in the Texas rock and metal scene they will undoubtedly do the same on the world music scene.
Check them out and show them some love by liking their page and inviting your friends to do the same.
Here is the Youtube Link to their song "Mirror Wall":

Hello. 'Mirage' is the title of a super January 'Album of the Month' here on 'The Jazz Hour' from the super reeds player Alex Clarke, who was a nominee in the 'Rising Star' category at the now 2018 'British Jazz Awards'. Well on this weeks' programme, I'll have another track from the album and I'll be telling you a little bit about the 'musical life so far' of Alex.
'Jazzers', Bucky Pizzarelli, Joe Pass, Henry 'Red' Allen, Percy Humphrey and Max Roach are all featured this week, as they would have celebrated and birthday over the past seven days.
In last weeks' programme, Brian in Kidderminster here in the UK emailed in, telling me that he has got his friends together to listen in to the programme..well not to be outdone, Brian's wife Lynne has got in on the act and for her special friend she has requested a track from Ella Fitzgerald.
Add to that tracks from Harry Parry and the Sid Phillips Band and we should just about get through till 10 o'clock.
So I do hope you'll join me, the station is Longside Radio and the time is 9pm on Sunday evening..I can promise you, some great jazz.
Have a great weekend!!

Dear Editor,
I’m a volunteer at the Bone Cancer Research Trust and I’m looking for support for their Stamp Appeal. The Bone Cancer Research Trust (Charity Number 1159590) are the leading charity dedicated to fighting primary bone cancer, and we would love the support of your listeners.
It’s so easy for your listeners to get involved, we would like to ask them to save used and new postage stamps from the UK and overseas, any amount at any time of the year is very much appreciated. In 2018, we raised £12,775 just from stamps and stamp collections. In 2019 we wish to raise at least £25,000. I’ve provided some copy below, if you would be kind enough to include it in your broadcasts?
The Bone Cancer Research Trust is the leading charity dedicated to fighting primary bone cancer and they need your help! Please save your new and used stamps for their Stamp Appeal. Christmas has gone, but you may have received a few Christmas cards with stamps on or maybe there’s a birthday coming up, or even your workplace receives lots of post! Don’t forget to ask your social group, school, church and so on to support us! Instead of throwing stamps away, send them to the Bone Cancer Research Trust Stamp Appeal and they can turn your stamps into funds, so they can continue with their life-saving research, providing reliable information, raising crucial awareness as well as offering support to those who need it.
