Blue Note Records: Beyond The Notes BBC4 15/11/19

[Stunsworth]

A 90 minute film on BBC4 this Friday evening. Sounds like a must see programme to me. PVR set.

 

[Tony L]

Excellent, booked in the recorder here too!

Another +1 and I'm keeping my eye out for the transmission date of the Miles Davis Birth of the Cool documentary due on BBC in the New Year.

I guess you didn't like his response to your frivolous 'vote labour' comment?

Thank you @Tray , I'll watch this for sure.

Good Lord. What will we do without the BBC when Murdoch finally succeeds in destroying it.

 

[Sloop John B]

Seems to be an interesting Bowie doc on just after this also.

Love this label. Have a set of double albums where a Dutch DJ was let into the archives to make up the playlists. On my turntable a lot.

 

[Aural]

'Turntable'? Who he? (-;

The recent Tone Poet and BN80 releases from Blue Note have been spectacular.

Is that the Blue Note Trip series by DJ Maestro?

On a more hip-hop note you might also like the Diggin On Blue series from 1999. https://www.discogs.com/label/867157-Diggin-On-Blue-Series
CD only except the Biz Markie mix https://www.mixcloud.com/SoulCoolRecords/biz-markie-diggin-on-blue/

Madlib's Shades of Blue is ace too https://www.discogs.com/Madlib-Shades-Of-Blue/release/158142

Yes that's the one Blue Trip outstanding series.

 

[RickyC6]

That was excellent.

Just watched it, great program, well worth it! Thanks Stunsworth, would not have known about it without this thread!

 

[Darkagesound]

Yes, watched this too, and enjoyed it. Thanks for alerting us to this. I particularly enjoyed the contributions of Lou Donaldson, Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter. However, I do find myself increasingly frustrated by TV. There were lots of aspects of the Blue Notes story they touched on and I thought I'd like to know more. But maybe it is a success if it leaves you wanting more. Loved the snippets of all the good music from this label and I've been playing Speak No Evil this evening.

In bed now and have Mr Shing a Ling on thanks to listening to Lou.....
