  1. Don't know that one, but it's gotta be good!
  2. Ferdinand Povel (1983)
  3. Yes, I didn't make the trip to Paris to hear Bud, as did some of my friends. Someone who told me he'd heard Bud in Paris was none other than Joe Harriott! (He also said he'd never heard Bird live. "Just the records, man".)
  4. Yes, those who saw them are now a shrinking bunch. Can't claim to have seen Bird, Bud or Fats, but did see Diz, Monk, Max, Klook, Dex, Stitt, Haig, Albany, Bishop and McKibbon.
  5. Archibald Wavell Billy Ocean Woody Shaw
  6. My favourite Lester. Despite the fame of the prewar sides, these are the ones that best suit my taste.
  7. Roy Brooks Hal Crook Rev David Sheppard
  8. A nice one, John!
  9. Trying to recall the 10" LP I listened to in c.1958. The tune title "A Wetback on the Left Bank" sticks in my mind. As I recall, this unkind remark relates to drummer Chuck Flores.
  10. A skeleton walks into a bar and orders a large beer and a mop.
