The October 21st wikipedia entry helped inspire much of this week’s show for this date, listing three significant births: Weimar/German cabaret singer Claire Waldoff, and jazz greats Don Byas (his centenary) and Dizzy Gillespie. You’ll hear me mention a couple of times during the show that I forgot to bring one crucial CD with me, (John Coltrane – Complete Recordings With Dizzy Gillespie) it was in my hand just before leaving home, but didn’t make it into the bag, alas, but still, not too bad a selection of recordings, (1900-1946) for your consideration!
