131R Miles Davis – the CBS Years.
Some preshow worries with Malaclypse’s hardware, but a quick bit of rewiring and we managed to make it on air amd the show was well received as a cool piece for a Sunday. Miles may have approved of that.
Miles Davis at CBS
This week’s theme is the seminal work of Miles Davis at Columbia Records, notably including his setting the world of Jazz on its ears not once, but twice.

259 Jazz Now
A collection of recent releases (2020 – 2024) in the jazz genre, a selection picked by our resident experts Hugh and Nigel. Some lovely music, well appreciated by our audience too. Look up these bands if you like what we played.
Jazz Now!
No Apocalypse for Jazz can be seen in the near future, so we will have a look at how Jazz is doing these days—it may be doing it quietly and in the background for the mainstream listener, but it’s there, it’s alive, and it’s kickin’!

132R Chicago part II
Covering the period from their recovery from the death of Terry Kath onwards, there were a lot of changes to go through and some lacklustre albums too. Hugh had selected the best tracks, and we updated the show with two tracks from the latest album Chicago XXXVIII: Born For This Moment, released in 2022.
Chicago Part II
This week, we will continue the saga of Chicago: what happened after their fatal hit.

258 The Sky’s the Limit
A great set of tracks put together by Hugh around the subject of the sky. Lots of slower stuff and a wide variety of styles, but all great music and well liked by our audience, which grew to 31 at one point and stayed at 28 for a long while. Very happy with that.
The Michael Feinstein track Skywriting was cut short in the main show, and the full track was added to the postshow. My fault, a bad reformatting of the wma original by Audacity.
The Sky
After our look at the sea a couple of weeks ago, we will turn our eyes upwards this time and enjoy the sky for a change.

130R Chicago part 1
A selection of tracks from the celebrated jazz-rock-pop band Chicago, going up to the eleventh studio album just before the death of Terry Kath. I’m a big fan of early Chicago, no surprise as I’m a jazz fan from way back, and I had a lot of input to this show – the second show is mostly Hugh. 23 listeners peak, a good number, for which we thank you.
Since I talked a lot about the covers, I’ve linked images of them to the album names. The ones we missed out are Chicago at Carnegie Hall, which is number 4 in the sequence (White Tile), and Chicago IX – Chicago’s Greatest Hits (Painted Billboard)

Chicago. The Full Brass.
This week, we will have a look at the early years of Chicago. Not the Southside thereof—we won’t meet Leroy Brown—but the Rock band that has some real brass.
