It goes out on WDR 5 on Saturday 21st July at 22:05-00:00. You can access the show by clicking on the Radio button in the link to Michael Ruesenberg's site.

My thanks to guitarist Michael Peters (check out his revamped website)for sending me this heads-up about a forthcoming programme on German radio. 

Presenter Michael Ruesenberg will be hosting his jazzpoint preview and will feature selections from Jakko Jakszyk’s recently released album, The Bruised Romantic Glee Club (you can read my review here).  As well as featuring guests such as Robert Fripp, Gavin Harrison, Mel Collins, Dave Stewart and Ian Wallace. 

A colleague of Jakko's in the 21st Century Schizoid Band, Ian contributed to Jakko’s version of Islands, and his Crimson Jazz Trio will also be featured on the radio show with something from the excellent, King Crimson Songbook Volume One.

Also featured on Jakko’s album is Soft Machine stalwart, bassist Hugh Hopper.  Ruesenberg will be looking at the recently reissued Softs classic Third and the bleaker, Fifth (Hopper’s penultimate album with the group). 

Nice.
