On this edition I explore the sound of the trumpet as part of the heartbeat of Jazz-History with ground-breaking contributions by Roy Eldridge, Charlie Shavers, Louis Armstrong, Jabbo Smith, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, Freddie Hubbard and Ambrose Akimusire delivering a "Trumpet Battle" of a different kind, as a summer sunshine fanfare.
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.
