Feature

Seven Types of William Empson

The poet and critic William Empson is best known for his pioneering studies of English literature, such as The Seven Types of Ambiguity, as well as his lyrical and witty poetry which was highly influential on other 20th-century poets.

Writers and commentators, such as Christopher Ricks, Clive James, John Haffenden and Adam Phillips, discuss Empson's life and work, and assemble their own Seven Types of William Empson, with topics ranging from poetry and the East, to beards and aphorisms.

22:30

Jazz Library

Billie Holiday

Singer Christine Tobin guides Alyn Shipton through the best work from Billie Holiday's early and late career.

Widely acknowledged as one of the finest singers in jazz history, Billie Holiday's short life produced a remarkable recorded legacy, in which anguish blended with ecstasy as she sang of unrequited love. Her voice changed with age and hard living, and among the highlights are Good Morning Heartache, My Man and the emotional wasteland of Strange Fruit, a song about a Southern lynching.

23:30

Consisting of Hammond organist John Medeski, drummer Billy Martin, bassist Chris Wood and guitarist John Scofield, the quartet's music is rooted in funk and blues as well as in the jazz improvisation tradition.
