In this edition I try to explore the influence of Jazz on our state of mind and I try to bring you into some JAZZ MOOD, the artistic and improvisational mood of some of the greatest musicians of its genre expressed in music, exploring the interpretation of Duke Ellington, Nina Simone, Mulgrew Miller, Niels-Henning Oerstedt Pedersen, Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, Mark Murphy, King Pleasure, James Moody, Yusef Lateef, Anat Cohen, Fred Hersch and others.
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.
