BBC Radio Salutes the Centenary of the Legendary Drummer, Big Sid Catlett
Sadly not on Radio 2, but of interest to many Radio 2 listeners:
YouTube video of Sid with John Kirby Sextet, Louis Armstrong Orchestra & Gene Krupa. www.youtube.com/watc... Here two programmes about this sensational musician this Saturday: The Late Paul Barnes @ 23:00 on BBC Cambrideshire, Essex, Kent, Norfolk, Northampton, Suffolk & Three Counties. (Paul celebrates the Django Reinhardt Centenary next week) The live link on line will be: www.bbc.co.uk/iplaye... and from Sunday until the following Saturday on Iplayer: www.bbc.co.uk/progra... And Alyn Shipton discusses Big Sid with drummer Richard Pite on ‘Jazz Library’ on BBC Radio 3 at 16:00 on Saturday. This is from the Radio 3 website: www.bbc.co.uk/progra... The show will be on Iplayer following the broadcast Big Sid Catlett was arguably one of the most naturally talented percussionists in jazz history. To celebrate Catlett's centenary in January 2010, Alyn Shipton is joined by drum expert Richard Pite to pick the highlights of a recorded catalogue that includes work with the swing orchestras of Fletcher Henderson and Benny Goodman, the modern jazz of Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie, and the original Louis Armstrong All Stars. |
