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!

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.

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
