Geoffrey Smith presents listeners' jazz requests, including performances by Django Reinhardt, Stephane Grappelli, Dizzy Gillespie, Jimmy Witherspoon and John Coltrane.
Geoffrey Smith presents a selection of listeners' jazz requests including a display of entente cordiale between Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli. For singer and pianist Nellie Lutcher The Song Is Ended (But the Melody Lingers On) and Alice Roberts, in the company of Dizzy Gillespie, points out that He Beeped When He Shoulda Bopped! Jimmy Witherspoon's Goin' to Chicago but tenor saxophonist Lucky Thompson doesn't know Where or When. East meets West in Raga Piloo and John Coltrane ends the show in a Moment's Notice (well a bit more than a moment - nine glorious minutes worth to be precise!).
