Marvellous Miles Davis series on radio this week

Miles Davis, the five part Composer Of The Week series, got off to an impressive start today as presenter Donald Macleod covered the early years.

The series airs for an hour from mid-day, to Friday. It is repeated for five days from next Sunday, 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 start to what will be a fine series: Composer of the Week excels daily; this Miles series will be one of the highlights of 2006 for grown-up music fans.
