It Must Schwing: Blue Note tribute concert

A concert in tribute to Blue Note founders Alfred Lion and Francis Wolff. Plus, hard-swinging organist Joey DeFrancesco shares tracks that have inspired him throughout his career.

JumokΓ© Fashola presents concert highlights from an evening in tribute to Blue Note record label founders Alfred Lion and Francis Wolf - the men behind one of the most influential labels in music history. Specially curated for the evening by the founder of the ACT record label, Siggi Loch, the group will be playing classic material from the pioneering label's golden era and feature a guest appearance from a true great of hard bop - saxophonist Benny Golson.

Also in the programme, hard-swinging organist Joey DeFrancesco, shares a collection of tracks that have inspired him throughout his career. DeFrancesco was mentored by organ legend Jimmy Smith and has worked with everyone from Miles Davis to Ray Charles, so he has plenty of stories to tell.

Produced by Dominic Tyerman for Somethin’ Else.
