In January Hoochie Coochie will welcome back the James
Taylor Quartet. As a foretaste, tune in to Jazz
Line-Up tomorrow (Saturday) at five o’clock to hear the band in concert at
this year’s Glasgow Jazz Festival and Sebastian Scotney reports from Birmingham
on the jazz scene in England’s second
city. Also on Radio 3 (midnight Saturday), John Coltrane is in the spotlight on
Geoffrey Smith’s Jazz.
Paul Jones (Monday, Radio 2, 7:00pm) should be a good
one. Renowned label boss Mike Vernon will be in the studio to play – yes, play
– some blues! At eleven o’clock Jazz on 3
over on Radio 3 celebrates fifty years of the AACM. And on Wednesday’s Front Row on Radio 4 (7:15pm) there’s an
item on Wynton Marsalis’ violin concerto written especially for Nicola
Bendetti. And on BBC2, Wednesday 11:15pm, Len
Goodman’s Dancing Feet: the British Ballroom Story is a swift repeat of a programme
first broadcast on BBC 4 that takes a look at the heyday of ballroom dancing.
