Five hours of Miles Davis on radio next week

Miles Davis fans are in for a treat next week: Davis is the featured artist on BBC Radio 3's magical long-running series, Composer Of The Week, expertly presented by the gently didactic Donald McLeod.

The series airs for an hour from mid-day, Monday to Friday. It is repeated for five days from the Sunday of the following week, starting at midnight. And the BBC Radio 3 web site will have all the programmes online on its Listen Again feature for seven days after broadcast.

Very, very promising: Composer of the Week excels daily; it's the first time I've noted a non-classical musician as subject, though. Fitting choice, then....
