Episode notes
This week's guest in pianist, writer and all round music-man, Chris Ingham.
We chat about his writing gigs with MOJO and interviewing Paul Simon, researching the songbooks of Hoagy Carmichael and Gil Evans, and of course, his October 2021 gig in Watford shining a light on the jazz of the brilliant Dudley Moore.
We also find time to explore the influence of Prefab Sprout, the genius of Benny Green and the struggles of being 'musically dyslexic'.
Chris's album recommendations include:
A Jazz Portrait of Frank Sinatra by Oscar Peterson (1959) released on Verve
Chet Baker Sings by Chet Baker (1954) released on Pacific Jazz Records
The Dave Frishberg Songbook Volume 1 by Dave Frishberg (1981) released on Omni Sound Jazz
