On this edition we follow the sound of the alto saxophone from its early years to the Bebop revolution and beyond featuring some of the instrument's movers and shakers with music by Benny Carter, Johnny Hodges, the Yardbird himself, Phil Woods, Lee Konitz, Art Pepper, Paul Desmond and Jackie McLean.
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.
