Terrific track!

Dennis Pennis Dick Van Dyke The Little Dutch Boy

Clark Tracey Stan the Man Manfred Mann

Another one first read at the age of 16! Landmark classic and wonderful writing, of course.

Rich Perry is a very fine player, but I don't see him as overlooked. Almost man of the moment in view of his work with the Maria Schneider Orchestra!

Richie Havens Sidney Keyes Lady Docker

Attended a saxophone master class by Dave O'Higgins at which he named Phil Dwyer as one of his favorites, along with more obvious choices like Eric Alexander. Subsequently listened to this by Dwyer, which is great: Ellefson I saw when a very young man (both of us) when he was living in the UK and playing with John Dankworth.

To be really undeservedly overlooked you have to be very good and playing somewhere like the UK, so I'm nominating: Peter King Gilad Atzmon Alan Barnes So pleased Greg Abate got a mention. Probably spends too much time in the UK to be fully recognized. Christlieb is a great player, but not overlooked. As for Lennie Niehaus, he's a classic giant of the music

Henry Thynne Robin Thicke Tim Nice But Dim

And for something different ... "Diminuendo and Crescendo in Blue" (14:56) with Paul Gonsalves's 27-chorus solo from this:

BBQ (Brownfield/Byrne Quintet) at Wilmslow last night. Surprisingly good bop-to-mainstream local group with a stompin' rhythm section.

Keeps on a bit longer like this and we'll be needing this baby!

The second part of George Melly's autobiography. Always readable.
