A TOUCH OF SEPTEMBER
on this week's edition of TALES FROM THE FAR SIDE
Today's music by Gediminas Karkauskas, Heikki Ruokangas, Michelle Petrucciani, Dinah Washington, Lester Young, Danilo Perez, Eliane Elias, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Dizzy Gillespie, Eric Alexander and the second hour is dedicated to HORACE SILVER's masterpiece SONG FOR MY FATHER.
The 62nd edition of The Hot Box opens up the guitar files for an alphabetical series that will cover a wide range of eras and styles in the very wide world of the guitar in jazz. By some margin the guitar is the most popular of all musical instruments, and its presence in jazz is no less widespread, blossoming when someone had the bright idea of amplifying its sound. Right now, there are over 30 pro or semi-pro guitarists in Ireland who play jazz, although finding their recorded output may be problematic.
So, we start with The A File - John Abercrombie, Howard Alden and Laurindo Almeida for starters.
