Radio 3 Jazz Library podcasts

[paulfromcamden]

I've recently discovered Alan Shipton's Jazz Library series is available as a podcast. The series is a few years old but brilliant to work through - each episode explores the work of a different musician, often in conversation with the musician themselves. There's a couple of hundred episodes available!

Excellent - and there they are on LMS thanks to the iPlayer Extras Plug-in! That will keep me busy for a while - I think I’ll start with Joe Lovano and Paul Motian tomorrow as I’m currently discovering and enjoying the Motian Trio albums.

Many thanks for the heads-up!

 

[RBrinsdon]

Thanks for that Paul

 

[John C]

Bit of a treasure trove this. Enjoyed Jimmy Woode, Billy Strayhorn, Johnny Griffin and Carla Bley so far.

 

[Frizzy]

My jazz knowledge is patchy, been looking for resource, ta.

 

[Fergusc]

Excellent thanks

 

[Saxondale]

These are great - thanks for the heads up!

 

[Woodface]

I am just listening to the Louis Armstrong edition, just stunning, really enlightening.

 

[Saxondale]

Love these but they’ve been taken down - any other way to hear them?

 

[paulfromcamden]

That's odd. I listen to them on Podbean on my phone (which is still working) - but I seem to also be able to still download them from the BBC link above.

 

[poco a poco]

Paul's link is still working for me as well.

 

[Saxondale]

That is so strange. A few hours ago I tried about 10 different ones and they all said ‘Currently unavailable’. They all work now! Odd.

thanks all and sorry for false alarm.

According to the Beeb they will be available ‘indefinitely’ let’s hope the Beeb survives indefinitely too: under the cosh a bit recently.
