PLAYLIST for NOVEMBER 18, 2009

FUNDING DRIVE: Many thanks to the loyal and generous listeners who supported CKCU during our Funding Drive.

Program Topic:

GEORGE RUSSELL: We bid a sad farewell to composer, arranger, theoretician,
pianist, band-leader George Russell, who died on July 27, 2009. We’ll him first as an arranger/composer with Dizzy Gillespie’s Orchestra in 1947, as a composer whose tunes were recorded by Teddy Charles and Hal McKusick in 1956, and then as a
band-leader playing his own compositions in 1956 [with Art Farmer and Bill Evans], in 1964 [at the Newport Jazz Festival with Don Ellis and John Gilmore and in Bremen and Paris with Thad Jones and Barre Phillips], and in 1982 [with a big band including Ray Anderson and Marty Ehrlich].

We will take a moment to plug two upcoming Ottawa concerts, the first by
Josh Rager, Paul Meyers and John Geggie [November 28 at the NAC Fourth Stage] and the second by the Geoff Lapp Trio [November 29 at the First Unitarian Church @ 30 Cleary Avenue].
