Members gave their commentary on their jazz choices as follows. Richard I “I’ve been decorating the Dining Room so been listening to my iTunes playlists. The following tracks attracted my attention whilst I was painting.” Cynthia K“There is apparently a new film out about Bessie's life, but as it is only on streaming services, which I don't subscribe to, I haven't seen it yet.” “I heard this on one of the Radio 3 jazz programmes I often listen to - just wonderful.” Gordon R“For jazz I have selected two trombone-based tracks.” Terry J“The tuba player Howard Johnson died earlier this year.” “This is Brad Mehldau playing a cover of a Nick Drake song.” Additionally Non-Jazz Tracks were played as follows. Members gave their commentary on their non-jazz choices as follows. Cynthia K“Something different for you from the modern classical repertoire, but with that South American tango beat.” Gordon R“A bit of cheery ragtime” Terry J“This track is best listened to on headphones, preferably walking out on a dark crisp night. It is 18 minutes long so you have my permission to bail out after 5 minutes if it doesn’t resonate with you.”
