  1. Thanks for posting that, Sidewinder. Perhaps I should look at the Telegraph more often!
  2. Duncan (from the Scottish play) Drunken Duncan Dunkin' Donuts
  3. Talking of "over the years", between 1957 and about 97, I saw all the following who made their way to these shores: Jack Teagarden Dickie Wells Britt Woodman Quentin Jackson Chuck Connors Lawrence Brown Benny Powell Henry Coker Al Grey Kai Winding Bill Watrous Slide Hampton Gary Valente Unfortunately, I never got to see my all-time favorites: J.J., Rosolino and Brookmeyer.
  4. George Melly Andre Melly Andre Previn
  5. Jazz Line-Up from BBC Radio 3. Now playing: Bruce Adams and Tony Marshall on "Sure as You're Born".
  6. Daniel Boone Blue Daniel Victor Feldman
  7. Saw Barnes and Adams recently with a local trio at the Cheadle Hulme Conservative Club!!! They included some Ellington numbers. Their cohesion in ensembles was remarkable.
  8. Manny Albam Heath Ledger Booker Little
  9. Nice to be reminded of them! I was at their concert at the Dominion, Tottenham Court Road, London in 1971.

  16. Yes, Jarmusch is clearly someone who went out of his way to make deliberate use of the b&w medium, except in Broken Flowers, of course.
  17. Saw them fronting the Horace Silver Quintet at Ronnie Scott's in about 1969. Sadly, there's now only one brother left.
  18. Lincoln Rockwell Richard Boston Captain Spalding
  19. Having first seen Watrous a few years ago (still sporting that haircut), I'm surprised to see that in his youth he bore a distinct resemblance to Manchester's enfant terrible, Liam Gallagher
  20. Mine, too! I hadn't seen a copy for decades and so was very pleased to find one a few years ago in the now defunct Reckless Records in London's Soho. As far as I'm aware, this one's never made it onto CD, though I may be wrong, of course!

  22. Well, I really don't like duplicating stuff, which is why I haven't gone overboard for so much of the marvelous music on Mosaic. In so many boxes which I might otherwise buy, I find there's some music which I already have on vinyl from the old days. This means I'm still often looking for CDs to fill the gaps.
