On November 21 last year the Melbourne Jazz Cooperative presented the James Bowers Trio live in concert at The Jazzlab in Brunswick. The concert was recorded for the MJC, and will be broadcast on Gerry Koster's Dizzy Atmosphere show this Sunday, January 23 from 8pm.
This will be the first of a number of exclusive MJC recordings to be heard on Dizzy Atmosphere through 2022 and marks a return to the close relationship between PBS and the MJC. In some respects that relationship comes full-circle, as several of the concerts in the inaugural 1983 MJC Series were recorded by 3PBS-FM and broadcast at the time.
The James Bowers Trio featured James Gilligan on bass guitar, James McLean on drums and James Bowers playing piano. The concert was recorded for the MJC and PBS by Myles Mumford.
