On this edition I follow the majestic harp on its excursion into Jazz territory and I feature the pioneering and ground-breaking playing of Dorothy Ashby and Alice Coltrane and showcase their influence on a new generation of players like Deborah Henson-Conant, Brandee Younger, Edmar Castaneda and Alina Bzehzhinska.
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.
