Delighted to pay tribute to one of my favourite jazz pianists on Wed night when I analysed Hampton Hawes' solo on "I Got Rhythm" - a true fingerbuster!

I nearly brought it off until, in my closing remarks I played the phrase that Hampton uses in his last chorus and.........the fingers jammed and the mess goes out on Wed 18t June. The "live" part was of Cannonball's solo on "I'm on my way" and this went off without mishap. Catch on BBC iplayer if you missed it.

 And I've been working with sound engineer supreme Don Mitchell in putting titles to our Jazz ebsite featuring 3 pieces I've written for former FYJO players. New experience to be adding text to videos but this project is going to be something!
