One of the greatest drummers of all time on BBC 4 now, Art Blakey & the Jazz messengers with Lee Morgan.... followed by Thelonious Monk.

BBC 4 have been putting out a lot of Jazz stuff recently.... keep an eye out

Missed it!

The good news is many years ago I was lucky enough to see the great man in concert, he was quite brilliant

All on BBC iPlayer if you want to watch it

Along with a Charlie Parker documentary which was on yesterday also!

I hope they put the others out - there's a whole series of Jazz 625 (in the Archive on my course at uni, they had the lot), with Monk, Blakey, Coltrane, Bill Evans, Wes Montgomery, Diz, Oscar Peterson etc...

It'd be great to see them all again!

I think they've been slowly going through them all on Friday evenings with repeats on Saturday, starting about a month or two back.

Haven't seen them all but they've had Dizzy, Getz and Brubeck on the other's I've seen.

They seem to run them along side jazz documentaries which have been fascinating.
