On this edition I pay tribute to life and work of trumpeter / flugelhornist / composer / arranger / bandleader and educator Kenny Wheeler and I celebrate his music with a selection of handpicked tracks from his colourful back catalogue.
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.
