Happy Birthday, Eric Dolphy And Brian Wilson - Oh, And It's Burt Bacharach Day
Eric Dolphy, that most brilliant and idiosyncratic of jazz improvisors, would have been 79 today. For Eric's utter mastery of clarinets, saxophones and flute, as well as his savvy as a composer and ability to tackle any genre of music, he remains among the great artists, a true 20th century giant.
To Brian Wilson, the master of symphonic pop, a very happy 65th to you - so glad you are still here!
Enjoy "Heroes And Villains", the opening song from Brian's greatest work, SMiLE.
For Burt Bacharach Day, the randomly chosen 20th of any given month, here is vocalist Trijntje Oosterhuis, performing Falling Out Of Love with the Metropole Orchestra.
