HARRY MILLER'S ISIPINGO- WHICH WAY NOW on the Inside Track, Friday 9 p.m.
Brit-Jazz bassist Harry Miller's group Isipingo includes six of 
the greatest of Britain's jazzers of the mid 70's: Nick Evans-trombone, 
Mongezi Feza-trumpet, Harry Miller-double bass, Louis Moholo-drums, Mike 
Osborne-alto sax and Keith Tippett-piano. Which Way Now features over 70 
minutes of music from a beautifully recorded radio concert from November 
20, 1975. As Isipingo only released one album in their lifetime, this new 
release dramatically extends their legacy and birngs this important, 
hugely enjoyable, nearly-forgotten music to a new audience.


MOHAMMED 'JIMMY' MOHAMMED- TAKKABEL! on the Inside Track, Monday 9 p.m.
Appearing on Ethiopiques 2, Jimmy is a phenomenal blind singer that 
specializes in the songs of Tlahoun Gessesse, the greatest singer of 
Ethiopia. 'Takkabel!' is his first full length CD, recorded ast year while 
in Europe for the Moers Jazz Festival. Earlier that year, he was also 
invited to play at the 25 year party for the punk band Ex, members of 
which are also featured on some performances on this disc. Jimmy is 
accompanied by Mesele Asmamaw on the krar, a 5-string harp, and by Asnake 
Gebreyes on the traditional drums. They are often accompanied by Dutch 
jazzdrummer Han Bennik, who also plays a star-role on the CD.


DEALING WITH THE DEVIL on Hell or High Water, Sunday 1 p.m. to 2 p.m.
This week on HOHW we are inspired by the Devil's day of 6/6/06 to look at 
devilish imagery in blues music. Blues has been called "The Devil's Music" 
and Lonnie Johnson sings "the blues is like the devil, it comes on you 
like a spell." Peetie Wheatstraw dubbed himself the High Sheriff From Hell 
and the Devil's Son-In-Law. According to legend (or fact?), Tommy Johnson 
and Robert Johnson both sold their souls to Satan in exchange for their 
prowess in playing the guitar. we willfeature songs by these artists as 
well as Bessie Smith, Washboard Sam, Merline "The Yas Yas Girl" Johnson, 
and Black Spider Dumpling.
