  3. At one JJ gig in NYC I was so close to the man that his slide was going backwards and forwards right over my head. That was the fine group with Dan Faulk and Rene Rosnes. That occasion brought back fond memories yesterday whilst diggin' the 'Heroes' CD. Fortunately. his placement with the slide was immaculate ! A great opportunity to check out at close quarter the famous 'JJ' sound - right out of the bell. Wow! That must have been an experience! Many of the ones I saw were far from close up - buried in the ranks of the Ellington and Basie bands!
  4. Thanks for posting that, Sidewinder. Perhaps I should look at the Telegraph more often! No problem. As it was, I found it just by chance ! I'm a Guardian reader and they certainly do their bit for jazz; e.g. a lengthy obituary of Lee Young yesterday.
  5. Got that recently on Candid CD. That latter-day Victor Feldman piano is really something - not to mention the leader!

  12. 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.

  19. 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.
  20. Saw them fronting the Horace Silver Quintet at Ronnie Scott's in about 1969. Sadly, there's now only one brother left.
