Drinking at the fountainhead!

Now playing:

I remember that one from many years ago. A cheapie with superlative music!

Yes, Rossano does nice duets. Here he is with local tenorman, Liam Byrne, at my friend Malcolm Frazer's house. Liam told me they'd never played a note together before this!

Rossano is a superb pianist and a good friend, too, though the aspects of his playing which I like best are where the influence of his teacher, Barry Harris, is most apparent.

Ah, yes! Jacques Pervert. Not to mention Andrew Preview!

My favourite of that bunch is Doin' Allright. Now playing:

Rock Hudson Fred Flintstone John Stonehouse

Belmondo was in so many of the films I saw in the 60s, often with the recently deceased Anna Karina, who was my pinup:

I heard the Lincoln Center Orchestra on tour in Manchester about 3 years ago. Completely lacking in fire despite the presence of people like Ryan Kisor and Ted Nash. But Wynton can still play jazz, as evidenced by this video from Smalls during the pandemic. (His millionaire's suit looks really out of place at Smalls!)

Some of my Basie favourites there!
