Lovely Rhapsody in Blue at the BBC Radio 3 proms! The Osborne touch was excellent and later tonight I’ll be going back to listening to some other chap playing it…but tonight’s version compares well!
Join me on BBC Radio 3 on Sunday at 5 for #jazzrecordrequests from the Edinburgh Festival with live music from Martin Taylor and Catriona McKay!

Frank Sinatra The song Jimmy McHugh scribbled on a bed sheet late at night. When he got to the studio that morning he realised he'd forgotten to bring it. A panic call to his housekeeper who TVcalled the laundry rescued it and the song. (From Alyn Shipton's biography of Jimmy McHugh)

#JazzRecordRequests Alyn Shipton BBC Radio 3 Absolutely superb show this week. Hearing wonderful Stephane Grappelli, and talk of Martin Taylor, takes me back decades to Sheffield Crucible where I saw them as a kid. It was a stupendous show that has always stuck in the memory.
#MusicAfternoon Another great #MusicMap, Debussy's Prelude a l'Apres-midi d'un Faune - de Machaut to Glass all discovered en route. And #JazzRecordRequests with great tracks from Tomasz Stanko, Ahmad Jamal, Cannonball Adderley & more... Alyn Shipton Sara Mohr-Pietsch BBC Radio 3
Which tracks should we feature on #jazzrecordrequests on BBC Radio 3 later this month for the centenary of Bud Powell?
Lovely penultimate night of the BBC Proms last night with OAE on top form - their heroic Eroica with Antonello Manacorda will live on in my memory! Thanks David Pickard and Sam Jackson for a brilliant evening!
#JazzRecordRequests some cracking tracks so far - Duke's brilliant Daybreak Express, which I'd not heard before, Bird's Everything Happens to Me, and Kokoroko, one of my fave contemporary jazz/Afrobeat groups, with Soul Searching. Lovely stuff. Alyn Shipton BBC Radio 3
Ah, and we're finishing with more Duke, and it's M's favourite track, In a Sentimental Mood. Even if it does put me in somewhat of a melancholy mood now, I never tire of hearing it, & this version (with Coltrane) is probably my favourite. Alyn Shipton BBC Radio 3
