(Radio Times by Russell.)
This weekend’s Saturday
Classics (Radio 3, Saturday, 1:00pm) is presented by Geoffrey Smith. The
avuncular American will be playing some jazz including Duke Ellington and Keith
Jarrett. At five o’clock Gareth Williams’ European trio can be heard on Jazz Line-Up. This year’s Huddersfield
Contemporary Music Festival features on Hear
and Now at 10:00pm.
Of interest to devotees of free jazz will be Simon H
Fell’s Ensemble Anomaly. The set list includes pieces by Derek Bailey, Lol
Coxhill and Paul Rutherford. Dom Lash and John Tilbury will be working with
Fell. Midnight, again on Radio 3, that man Smith keeps his regular date with Geoffrey Smith’s Jazz. His subject this
week is Phil Woods.
On Monday Herbie Goins will be remembered by Paul Jones (Radio 2, 7:00pm). Then at
ten Frank and the Golden Era of Radio promises
previously unheard material from ‘30s-‘40s radio programmes featuring a young
Frank Sinatra. Stay tuned to Radio 2 if you’re a Sinatra fan to hear a repeat
of a programme presented by Jamie Cullum: When
Frank Met Billie (Tuesday 10:00pm). And if you’re a Billie Holiday fan stay
up all night, all week to catch Billie
and Me – the Billie Holiday Story. The first of six half hour programmes
goes out at two in the morning (Monday night/Tuesday morning) on BBC 6 Music.
The series was first aired in 2003. Finally, Soul Music, BBC Radio 4 Extra, Friday, 6:30pm, profiles Peggy Lee. The
singer’s daughter, Nicki Foster, talks about her famous mother.
