On this edition I pay tribute to drummer, composer, bandleader, educator and entrepreneur RALPH PETERSON, an extraordinary timekeeper and messenger of Jazz, who sadly passed away early in March at the age of only 58 but who left us some wonderful music.
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.
