As the new movie Everybody Digs Bill Evans launches in cinemas around Ireland, The Hot Box grabs the opportunity to immerse you in Evans’ music.

The Hot Box #154 – Miles Davis 100
Join Donald Helme on this edition of The Hot Box as he celebrates the life and music of one of jazz’s most influential figures, Miles Davis, marking what would have been the legendary trumpeter’s 100th birthday. From his groundbreaking innovations in bebop, cool jazz, modal jazz and jazz fusion, Miles Davis reshaped the course of modern music and continues to inspire generations of musicians and listeners alike. Donald reflects on the enduring legacy of Davis and introduces a carefully curated selection of recordings spanning his extraordinary career, offering both long-time fans and newcomers an opportunity to rediscover the music of one of jazz’s true visionaries. The programme also opens with a look at an outstanding new release from the Jed Levy / Phil Robson Quartet, *The Unpredictability of the Sea*, released by Livia Records, before embarking on a musical journey through the remarkable catalogue of Miles Davis.

The Hot Box #152 – Back to Bebop!
Whilst enjoying the multitude of styles that compose the repertoire of jazz today, many fans have long decried the disappearance of Bebop in favour of crossover music and other listener-to-listener styles. There is some evidence though that things may be changing, and one piece of that evidence is the emergence of some bands playing music closer to bop or hard bop style. One such is the British quintet Five Way Split, and Hot Box 152 samples tracks from their new album, Modus Operandi, alongside such classic hard boppers as Horace Silver and Art Blakey. Track list for The Hot Box #152 – Back to Bebop! Dr Stol / Five Way Split Modus Operandi / Five Way Split Along Came Betty / Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers These Foolish Things / Charlie Parker Something to Remember You By / Charlie Parker Juicy Lucy / Horace Silver Sister Sadie / Horace Silver Two Little Alphas / Five Way Split Sack of Woe / Cannonball Adderley Tune In: Listen Back: Catch past episodes on The Hot Box Jazz and Jazz Ireland.

Welcome to Hot Box 149. We begin with a sparkling new release on Blue Note from the young American pianist Paul Cornish. Hailing from Texas, Cornish was a finalist in the prestigious Herbie Hancock International Piano Competition three years ago, and has already shared the stage with many of the leading figures in jazz today. From there, we move into the distinctive voice of Cécile McLorin Salvant, with two selections from her Oh Snap album, before turning to the richly textured harp work of Brandee Younger on Gadabout Season. We close out the programme with two beautifully crafted pieces from Irish guitarist Louis Stewart, drawn from his album Joyce Notes.

The Hot Box #148 – Jack DeJohnette
Hot Box 148 is going to be both sad and joyful since we now remember the extraordinary drummer Jack DeJohnette who died at the end of October aged 83. He was a native of Chicago and certainly could lay a claim to being the greatest of all jazz drummers. Immensely influential in the overall direction of drumming in jazz and, by any standards, extraordinarily versatile. You only have to rattle off the names of the musicians he worked with to emphasise that point, take Miles Davis for example, then Bill Evans, John Surman, Keith Jarrett and Pat Matheney, really ticking most of the boxes in the post-bop era. So, let’s listen to some of that music while we pay tribute to an extraordinary musician.

The Hot Box #144 – Celebrating Two Jazz Greats
This episode of The Hot Box has a distinctly retro feel, as we celebrate the lives and talents of two remarkable female jazz singers who recently passed away. We’re remembering the incomparable British singer Dame Cleo Laine, and the lesser-known but deeply respected American vocalist Sheila Jordan. While Sheila was widely admired among jazz musicians and insiders, she remained under the radar for many casual listeners — though she did, in fact, perform in Ireland once.

The Hot Box #143 – Jazz in Ireland
Donald Helme takes the lid off the Hot Box once again, and this time he’s digging deep into a special file marked “Jazz in Ireland”. Reaching back across the decades, Donald unearths vintage recordings that showcase both the big names who have defined the Irish jazz landscape and the lesser-known voices who, for one reason or another, seemed to fade into history. Track list for The Hot Box #143 – Jazz in Ireland Feels So Good – Chuck Mangione Taylor Made – Linley Hamilton Coded Remorse – Justin Caroll Sea Legs – Michael Buckley Little Niles – The Kevin Brady Trio Uzac – Greg Lloyd Don’t Stop The Train – Eddie Palmieri Tune In: Live Broadcast: Every two weeks on Jazz Radio Eire.

The Hot Box #142 – Ryan Truesdell and Gil Evans
Welcome to the 142nd edition of The Hot Box with Donald Helme. This episode is a real treat, dedicated entirely to the music of the legendary Gil Evans. We’re marking the release of what may be the final volume of unearthed Evans material, lovingly brought to light by arranger and bandleader Ryan Truesdell. Truesdell has spent years digging into the Evans archive, bringing this extraordinary music to life through his acclaimed ensemble, The Gil Evans Project. Alongside selections from the latest release, we’ll also revisit highlights from the earlier albums. And we’ll hear about the live sessions that once brought this music to the stage at New York’s much-missed Jazz Standard, where it was performed annually in all its glory. The first track of the show is introduced with a snippet from the liner notes written by Ryan Truesdell.

The Hot Box #140 – I Thought About You
This edition of The Hot Box features a major re-issue, a remixed and remastered release of Louis Stewart’s quartet album with John Taylor, Sam Jones and Billy Higgins from Livia Records. Originally recorded in 1977, and released in 1980 with some edits and overdubs, this impeccable version restores the original London recording and adds two extra tracks. The results are possibly the best Louis Stewart studio recording, with top level accompaniment from the brilliant supporting trio.

The Hot Box #136 – In Memory of Lou Donaldson
He was born in 1926 and lived to be just 98 years old, having played in public well into his 80s. Donaldson was an alto saxophonist who began his career as a disciple of Charlie Parker, with whom he played, but, as part of the group of young players recruited to Blue Note Records in the 1950s he developed a more soulful sound. In the hour-long tribute to his music, we sample that great era of jazz, “Hard Bop” in which Donaldson was so important. Track list for The Hot Box #136 – In Memory of Lou Donaldson Watusi Jump: Lou Donaldson: “Here ’Tis” Hipty Hop: Lou Donaldson: “A Man with a Horn” Spaceman Twist: Lou Donaldson “The Natural Soul” Wee Dot: Art Blakey: “A Night at Birdland Volume Two” Alligator Boogaloo: Lou Donaldson “The Scorpion” Polka Dots and Moonbeams: Lou Donaldson “Gravy Train” The Sermon: Jimmy Smith: Blue Note “The Sermon” All tracks are on the Blue Note Records label.
