Jed and Jazz on Radio Wales
BBC Radio Wales will mark this year's Brecon Jazz Festival with a tribute programme to one of its founders, the late Jed Williams.
Jed and Jazz features performances from stars including Wayne Krantz, John Etheridge and Tina May, recorded at last year's Jazz 4 Jed tribute concerts in Cardiff.
Jed, who also founded the Jazz UK magazine and the Welsh Jazz Society as well as programming Brecon Jazz, died suddenly in November 2003 at the age of 51.
The programme goes out at 6.30pm on Friday 8 August but will be available to hear online any time over the following seven days at bbc.co.uk/radiowales via the Listen Again links.
Later that evening at 9.30pm you can hear the Radio Wales Arts Show's tribute to the late and legendary George Melly, another founder of the Brecon Jazz Festival.
This programme will also be available online for the following seven days at bbc.co.uk/radiowales.
