  1. Brief but fascinating. I remember that one well. Then I went on to The First Circle.
  2. Hell's Grannies Grandma Moses Nana Mouskouri
  3. One of the best films I've seen for a long time, reminiscent less of contemporary French films than of Ken Loach, the Dardenne brothers or even 99 Homes. The French title, literally "the law of the market", has been changed to The Measure of a Man in English. I would have preferred Market Forces.
  4. Pepin the Short Dave Cox Johnny Appleseed
  5. Humphrey Bogart Humph
  6. The Dalai Lama Funky Mama
  7. Track 14 From all that's been said, it looks as if it's "Seven Come Eleven" from this:
  8. Blakey Ridge, eh? That takes me back! At a tender age - though not too young to be already diggin' the sounds - a group of us hitchiked from Leeds to the north Yorkshire coast, raising a cheer as Blakey Topping came into view. The experience inspired us to make a subsequent pilgrimage to Monk Bridge Road in Leeds. Those were the days!
  9. Marley Chingus (Liverpool jazz group) Marley's Ghost David Brent Johnson
  10. Doc Cheatham Dave Swindells Acker Bilk
  11. Dr Harold Shipman Dr Crippen Cripple Clarence Lofton
  12. Track 12 Sounds like an Oscar Pettiford group with Pettiford soloing on cello and Julius Watkins on French horn. I don't think the tenorman is Rouse who played with O.P. - could it be Frank Foster or Jimmy Heath? Track 13 O.P. again! This time in a Lucky Thompson group with, I think, Jimmy Cleveland on trombone - and is that Hank Jones-ish piano in fact Don Abney?
  13. Spotty Muldoon The Scarlet Pimpernel King Crimson
  14. Dr Strabismus Squinting Bush Brown Blind Blake
  15. Laurie Lee Ronald Pickup Van Morrison
  16. Yes, one of the worst pianos I can recall on a studio date.
  17. Rap Brown Rip Van Winkle Felix Wankel
  18. Mads Vinding Mods Rockers
  19. Max Roach The Beatles Lady Bird
  20. Jake Gyllenhaal Hal McKusick Le Malade Imaginaire
  21. Used to hear a great deal about that one in my childhood. My parents had clearly been impressed.
  22. Gulley Jimson Benny Golson Ivy Benson
  23. Ben Tankard Jug Lita Rosa
