Alyn Shipton presents a selection of listeners' jazz requests in all styles of jazz, focusING on memories of pianist Horace Parlan.

In this week's programme, as well as playing listeners' requests in all styles of jazz, Alyn Shipton focuses on memories of the pianist Horace Parlan who died in February

A veteran of the bands of Charles Mingus and Sonny Stitt, Parlan overcame polio, which restricted the use of his right hand, to create one of the most original and unorthodox keyboard styles in jazz. After moving to Denmark in the 1970s, he made a significant contribution to European jazz.
