Jazz on the Prairies
Hannah French visits Calgary and is joined by CBC's Tim Tamashiro to hear recordings from Canada's lively jazz scene. Plus a profile of CBC's New Canadian Global Music Orchestra.
Hannah French is at the National Music Centre Studio Bell in Calgary with CBC's Tim Tamashiro to hear recordings from some of Canada's best jazz artists, past and present, including recordings by Oscar Peterson, Oliver Jones, Peter Appleyard, Rob McConnell and the Boss Brass, Diana Krall, Barbara Lica, Robi Botos Bria Skonberg and Michael Buble Plus a profile of the CBC's New Canadian Global Music Orchestra, made up of musicians from across the world who have settled in Canada - as they put it, "creating new traditions that reflect what Canada sounds and looks like in 2017."
CANADA 150: Beginning on Saturday 24th June, and ending as Canada Day dawns on 1st July, Canada 150 explores the range and diversity of Canadian music and arts, focused mainly on late night on Radio 3, and recorded on location across Canada from the Rockies to the eastern seabord. Canada's classical music scene is reflected in contemporary music from Banff in the Rocky Mountains, plus an Early Music Show from Montreal; Francophone and Anglophone traditional folk are represented in a kitchen party from Prince Edward Island; jazz and indigenous music is highlighted in programmes from Calgary and the Six Nations Reserve; and Canada's lively indie music scene is reflected with sets from the CBC's Music Festival in Toronto. Other highlights include a specially-commissioned collaboration representing the cultural links between the UK and Canada; and a feature from UK pianist James Rhodes focusing on a legend of Canadian music, Glenn Gould, complete with an interview with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Plus Canada-themed content across Radio 3, with daily tracks on Breakfast, Canadian guests on In Tune, and a Canada-inspired Words and Music.
