In an earlier post, Liz bemoaned the closing down of 'The Jazz' on DAB radio. Well, as I pointed out, although it has gone away on DAB - what's so special about DAB anyway? - it remains on cable and via PC/Classic FM although to access it via the latter medium requires greater cyberpatience than I have. On cable however, the presenters may have gone but the music lingers on.
Today I heard a beautiful version of 'Bewitched' by Paul Desmond and Jim Hall followed by, I think, Chet Baker singing 'Long Ago and Far Away' à la Roly Veitch - or should that be vice versa? Whatever, pure magic either way.
Mention of Roly prompts me to draw attention to his site which is linked further down the page. Roly refers to Becky Kilgore as his favourite singer and it would be difficult to disagree with him on that - Gwyneth Herbert not withstanding!
Check out Ms Kilgore singing 'You're a Lucky Guy' if you can find it.

Well, we haven't got Cable Lance,our friend has, but there is no commentary now with the music, and the classic FM jobby is on really late.
DAB is good because there is no interference no matter where it is placed(in my case kitchen window sill)I was reading that thejazz had really been on the increase for the listening public, and the writer said there was a lobby to try & get it back in some form or another.I wish...
