Drummer/bandleader Jon Hiseman is the subject of an hour-long BBC Radio 3 programme "Jazz Library" to be broadcast on Saturday June 4th at 4 pm. Alyn Shipton talks to Jon about his five decades as a drummer playing with many legendary musicians like Graham Bond, Jack Bruce etc., his experiences with his own groups Colosseum, Tempest and Colosseum ll, before returning to his role as drummer with Paraphernalia, the jazz-fusion band led by talented composer and saxophonist Barbara Thompson (also Jon's life partner) as well as his role of record producer for those and many other bands. Alyn also plays a selection of musical tracks featuring Jon, including one seldom heard piece from the extremely rare Howard Riley Trio album "Discussions". Absolutely not to be missed, if you're at all interested in the jazz, blues or rock scene from the '60s on.
