On this edition I have a closer look at the line-up of this year's Galway Jazz Festival with contributions by Meilana Gillard, Ronan Guilfoyle, Neil Yates, Arve Hendriksen, Terje Isungset, Simon Nabatov and Simone Graziano and there is a fine rendition of Thelonious Monk's Green Chimneys by Thelonious 4 featuring Tony Miceli.
TALES FROM THE FAR SIDE is live on air on CRC102.9fm and on www.crcfm.ie every Thursday 8-9 pm with a repeat on Saturday 9-10 pm. And there is a podcast of the show available on the web site all through the week. The show has established itself over the years with a small but devoted listenership (even beyond Jazz-fans) and since the introduction on internet the listenership extended nationally and internationally.
