Jazz Record Requests at Free Thinking
... at Free Thinking: Live from Sage Gateshead, Alyn Shipton is joined for live music and requests by violinist Emma Fisk and guitarist James Birkett.
This week's programme comes live from Sage Gateshead and Alyn Shipton is joined for live music and requests by violinist Emma Fisk and guitarist James Birkett
New Generation thinkers also appear with requests and, among this week's requests from regular listeners for all styles of jazz including tracks by Erroll Garner, Django Reinhardt and Ella Fitzgerald, Alyn also plays music to mark the 90th birthday this week of American saxophonist Bob Wilber, who has made his home in Britain for many years, and become a national jazz treasure. A pupil of Sidney Bechet, and a player who first visited the UK with Eddie Condon's band, Wilber also co-led Soprano Summit and directed the Ellingtonian soundtrack music for Francis Ford Coppola's film "Cotton Club".
