Chant of the Weed: 3: The Connection

on BBC Radio 3

Another chance to hear the series in which Brian Morton explores the strange relationship between jazz, the creative process and mind-altering substances.

There are no jazz songs celebrating heroin. Junk became associated .perhaps over associated, with the bebop revolution and is implicated in the early loss of dozens of musicians, including the greatest of them all. Or did Charlie Parker really die from eating too much chicken?
