On this edition I have a closser look at the most impressive line-up of this year's Berlin Jazz Fest celebrating it's 53rd Anniversary with music by the Michael Wollny Trio, John Beasley's Monk-estra, Ingrid and Christine Jensen with Ben Moder, the Tyshawn Sorey Trio, Ambrose Akinmusire, Amir ElSaffar, Nels Cline and many others.
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.
