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.
