Jazz Library: Heath Brothers

Heath Brothers

BBC Radio 3 - Jazz Library, Heath Brothers

Alyn Shipton talks to the Heath brothers about their collective and individual careers.

On one of the Heath Brothers' last visits to London before bassist Percy's death, Alyn Shipton talked to all three of them about their collective and individual careers in jazz.

Few families have produced three such exceptional musical brothers as Percy, Jimmy and Tootie Heath, a bassist, saxophonist and drummer who have worked at the highest level. On one of their last visits to London before Percy's death in 2005, Alyn Shipton talked to all three of them about their collective and individual careers in jazz, introducing not only the finest albums they made together, but their discs with other musicians as varied as Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, Dexter Gordon and Wes Montgomery.

The Heath Brothers band was a legendary ensemble in jazz from the 1970s to the death of bassist Percy Heath in 2005. All three brothers, Percy, saxophonist Jimmy and drummer Tootie, were masters of their art, and there was a collective magic about their appearances together. But in this programme Percy also talks about his work with Miles Davis and the Modern Jazz Quartet, Jimmy remembers his earliest records with John Coltrane when they were fellow members of Dizzy Gillespie's band, and Tootie recalls the thrill of accompanying Wes Montgomery and Dexter Gordon. We also hear their work together on the albums 'Triple Threat' and 'As We Were Saying'.

Gainsborough's Georgian England

BBC Radio 3 - The Early Music Show, Gainsborough's Georgian England

Catherine Bott explores some of Thomas Gainsborough's portraits of musicians.

Catherine Bott and art historian Michael Rosenthal explore what Thomas Gainsborough's paintings of musical subjects reveal about the role of music in late 18th century England.

Thomas Gainsborough had a deep love of music and many of his portraits include musical themes. He was himself a keen amateur player of the gamba and he had many musicians as friends, and feautured them as subjects for his portraits. Catherine Bott meets art historian and author of several books on the artist, Michael Rosenthal of Warwick University, for an exploration of what the Gainsborough portraits tell us about the role of music in the late 18th Century. The programme includes comment about Gainsborough's portraits of Karl Friedrich Abel; Johann Christian Bach; and the Linley family, as well as paintings of some notable amateurs from the English gentry such as William Wollaston and the redoubtable Anne Ford.

Catherine Bott talks to Warwick University art historian Michael Rosenthal , author of several books on Thomas Gainsborough. Producer Chris Wines
