On this edition I pay tribute to the late great pianist Harold Mabern who sadly died in September but whose music will stay alive as one of the most powerful Hard-Bop contributions in Jazz and beyond as a strong and in demand sideman and as a leader of his own groups.
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.
