Has anyone been listening to any of this? I managed to tune in a couple times, for about an hour each time. Both times I wished I could hear it all. What I've heard has been pretty ear-opening. Four days of Tristano - what a great but maddening concept.

I was listening to Phil Schaap play the favorite records of Tristano, great stuff,
Any show with Phil Schaap is worth listening to, especially Birdflight, it's on every weekday when there is not a festival. I love the birthday broadcasts... usually 24 hours of the greats on their B-day, unless it's Trane, then it's 1 week ! if it's Bach , they play his entire works which takes about 1 month !!
