[Dixielandjazz] Jazz at the proms

[Andy.Ling@Quantel.Com]

Guys,

Those of you who have access to BBC radio 3 or the Albert Hall on Saturday
may

Saturday 27th July BBC Radio 3 22:00
BBC Proms 2002

Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London, American trumpet virtuoso,
Wynton Marsalis, and his brilliant jazz orchestra recreate the irresistible
Golden Age of Swing with some foot- tapping rhythms and roof-lifting riffs.

Presented by Geoffrey Smith.

Making a welcome return after his previous Proms visit with his septet,
the charismatic American trumpet virtuoso, educationalist and musical
dynamo
Wynton Marsalis returns with the larger forces of his Lincoln Center Jazz
Orchestra for a Late Night programme celebrating the irresistible rhythms
and roof-lifting riffs of the Golden Age of Swing - a time when the
ballrooms
of the world were ruled by the classic big-band sounds of Count Basie,
Chick Webb, Jimmie Lunceford and Duke Ellington.
