... which, of course, I frequented. Particularly remember hearing Dick Morrisey there. Much more recently, I recall Humphrey Lyttelton reporting that residents of new apartments near the Bull's Head had sought a court order forbidding music, but that sanity had prevailed. Anyone have details of this?

I listen rarely to classical music, but find the following appeal to someone who's developed his musical tastes through jazz: Stravinsky, especially L'histoire du soldat Ravel: especially Valses nobles et sentimentales Debussy and Ravel string quartets Bartok: especially Mikrokosmos and other piano music Hindemith, Mathis der maler Bach: solo cello

Thanks for that, Jazzjet. Loads of nostalgia there! Used to have Brilliant Corners with the "British" cover, but lent it to someone and you know the rest! Nice to see that the Tubby Hayes Return Visit and Late Spot at Scott's, which I bought on CD not long ago, preserve the original covers. Fifties' design, as in the New Orleans to London cover, which I deplored at the time as being unhip in the age of the Blue Note cover, now seems very attractive and characterful. The chronological order of the display gives a real sense of how things went. Unlike Bev, it's only with the last third that I feel out of touch. A question of which generation you belong to, I suppose!

Although Zorn's music isn't to my taste, I think the program was an entirely legitimate and stimulating item in a show dedicated to classic jazz.

Seems to be playing OK from here. Looking forward to this one. Must be my inadequate computer. Got it playing at last! I think I must have had a touch of "limited connectivity"
