On this edition I try to draw a musical portrait of Ed Thigpen, one of the most tasteful and subtle drummers in Jazz and a true master with the brushes during his time with the Oscar Peterson Trio or 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.
