Geoffrey Smith’s Jazz (midnight Saturday, Radio 3) looks at the
work of the legendary Bix Beiderbecke (pictured). On Sunday afternoon over on Radio 4
(1:30pm) there is a repeat of a half hour documentary – The Jazz Ambassadors of the Cold War – presented by Julian Joseph
looking at the US State Department’s sponsored tours taking the great names of
American jazz behind and beyond the iron curtain.
Fiery Inspiration: Amiri
Baraka and the Black Arts Movement reassesses the impact of politically
aware cultural activities in America and their resonance here in Britain. The
first of two programmes, tune in at four o’clock, Monday, Radio 4.
Two blues items of note; Liz Kershaw (BBC 6 Music, Saturday, 1:00pm) meets the man of the
moment, Mr Robert Cray and over on BBC 4 Extra on Monday there are no fewer
than three opportunities to hear John
Mayall’s Blues Adventures at 6:30am, 1:30pm and again at 8:30pm.
Google box watchers will, no doubt, want to tune into
a quick repeat of Len Goodman’s Dance
Band Days on Wednesday, BBC 2, 11:15pm (first shown on BBC4).
