It looks like his show. The volume of posts here is so low, surely you do not begrudge him this? It is jazz related and the posts give specific information rather than blanket spam.

Dont begrudge, its just nice to know.

I quite like the updates give me something to look forward to

Blue Note records celebrates 75 years in existence so Smooth Jazz will feature Blue Note artists in a bank holiday special Monday 1st.June 2009 from 9 to 10.00pm.It was Alfred Lion who founded Blue Note records with his love of jazz shining through particularly in the labels purple period during the 50's and 60's.Rudy Van Gelder was a producer who successfully produced the sound that Lion required on many of the more successful Blue Note discs.

Thanks for all suggestions received.I have incorporated a few and will includes others in future shows.

It's hard to believe that John Peel is gone from us five years on Sunday 25th.October.
He introduced me to the now also late George Melly - a track in both their memories on Monday.
I also have a classic,as gaeilge,from Hilary Bow plus tracks from Donald Fagen,Canadian band Sekoya,Irma Thomas,The Modern Jazz Quartet plus more.

Hope you can make it too and enjoy the bank holiday weekend but please stay safe.

Hello
Nice to have met some of you in Cork during the jazz festival.
Various opinions as to the best concert but,in my humble opinion,it was the Monty Alexander,Kurt Elling double bill at the Everyman Palace on Saturday.For the party crowd The Roaring Forties and The Jive Aces gave great value.

Smooth Jazz next Monday has a ticket giveaway for the upcoming Melody Gardot Dublin Olympia concert.Three sets of tickets on offer so tune in for the details.Expect a couple of tracks from Melody's latest CD plus the usual gig guide.

Jimmy Saville presented a programme on Radio Luxembourg years ago on which a one minute excerpt was played from each single being promoted.

A listener has suggested a similar concept for Smooth Jazz with the rules requiring that no track beyond 2.5 minutes be played during the show.

I have trawled through my collection and come up with approx. 20 tracks which meet the intended criteria.

All will be revealed on 4FM's Smooth Jazz on Monday 16th.November from 9.04pm

Hello
I know that you are all down after the drama unfold in Paris last night but,hopefully,Smooth Jazz can cheer you up somewhat.

On Monday 23rd.November I will refer you back to a previous world cup campaign when the BBC chose Puccini's Nessum Dorma as the theme music.I have a jazzy version from Don Byron while Jimmy Scott does a great reading of People Get Ready (appropriate for the times or what).

Austin Durack is based in Clare and does a great guitar rendition of Moondance - also for inclusion.

A Swedish band Ambassadeur do a great re vamp of It's Not Unusual and Midnight Cowboy and will form part of the musical line up.

The usual gig guide plus a couple more interesting artists like former Nuala Karen Egan complete the hour.

Hope you can join in too whether live or on listen again.
