Andy Champion’s ACV is reborn. A new line-up – Chris
Sharkey, Ollie Dover, Matthew Bourne and Joost Hendrickx – can be heard live on
Jazz on 3 this Monday at 11:00pm. A
late-night set in the BBC’s Blue Tent at the Edinburgh Festival will feature
new material written by bassist Champion. Essential listening. Earlier on Monday
evening Proms Late Extra (Radio 3,
10:00pm) includes a set by the Mark Pringle Trio. Pianist Pringle brings his
trio to Newcastle’s Jazz Café on Friday 11 September. Advance tickets are
available by telephoning the venue – 0191 222 9882.
London Jazz blog’s Sebastian Scotney looks at the
connection between jazz and sports on Jazz
Line-Up (Saturday, Radio 3, 5:00pm – one hour earlier than usual). Geoffrey Smith’s Jazz (midnight,
Saturday, on Radio 3) celebrates the career of Johnny Griffin. On Sunday
evening at five past ten on BBC4 parts three and four of Sinatra: All or Nothing at All are to be screened back-to-back
(first shown yesterday).
On Friday 28 August tune-in to BBC 4 for three hours
and more of what promises to be a feast of jazz. Friday Night at the Proms: The Story of Swing (first broadcast live
on Radio 3, August 11) does what it says on the tin. Clare Teal, Guy Barker and
a cast of thousands swing the Albert Hall. The so-called ‘jazz diva’ label
often attributed to legendary figures in the jazz world is examined in Queens of Jazz: the Joy and Pain of the Jazz
Divas (BBC 4, 10:45pm) following the Proms concert.
