Bebop Spoken There

Dave Holland: "Back then, one of my first gigs was with Wally Fawkes and Johnny Parker at the Crown and Anchor in Islington, playing music that went back to the days of King Oliver. And I've always enjoyed the joyousness of that music, and the sound of everybody fitting together beautifully, improvising together." - Jazzwise, August 2021.

Jazz for Free Thinkers @ Sage Gateshead

BBC Radio 3’s Free Thinking Festival takes place at Sage Gateshead this weekend (Nov 6-8). The annual event gathers together free thinkers, the curious and the bemused. This year Jazz Record Requests pops-up on the concourse. You are welcome to attend a live broadcast of the programme on Saturday at 4:00pm. Please arrive fifteen minutes before Alyn Shipton and guests go ‘live’. One request is to hear Barbara Thompson and another listener wants to hear Henry Grimes. You may spot a familiar face!
Following JRR at five o’clock on Radio 3 is Jazz Line-Up. A pre-London Jazz Festival special, there should be something worth listening to. At midnight, again on Radio 3, the subject of Geoffrey Smith’s Jazz is Dizzy Gillespie.
Finally, on Monday over on Radio 2, Paul Jones will be playing new releases including a track from County Durham’s blues-rock guitarist Mitch Laddie.
