I must put in a word for Terry Shannon who was a leading figure in British jazz round 1960, but who grew disillusioned and dropped out from the music. I saw him many times as part of the Tubby Hayes Quartet. His Silver-tinged piano can be heard on Dizzy Reece's Blues in Trinity (Blue Note), which also features Tubby Hayes, Donald Byrd and Art Taylor.

The Lawrence/Mulligan album has long been a great favorite of mine and I play it often. It's a long time since I heard the Cohn and Kahn album but I was far less impressed, IIRC. I also have Mulligan's The Arranger, which has a variety of great things on it.

Benny Golson will look back on his career in Jazz Library on BBC Radio 3 on Friday.

My father loved TWTWTW and said it was the best thing that had ever been on television. He was always anti-establishment and there hadn't been much expression of that sort of thing up till then.

Showing your youth there, sidewinder! I was 24 at the time and liked the boppish theme tune - as well as the satire, of course!
