Not really relevant, I know, but it was Radio Luxembourg that first brought Coltrane and Ornette to my ears early in 1959 on a show called "Jamboree Jazz Time".

I love that one. I already had that LP, and some other material of his, but it was when I saw him at the Brecon Jazz Fest in 2000 that what a nice guy he is came across to me. MG So you were there! I still have a videotape of television coverage of Junior at Brecon, backed by Steve Brown, who must be my favourite British drummer. Were you there too? MG Unfortunately, no. But I recall watching several BBC TV programmes from the festival. IIRC I also have Brecon sessions on tape by Joe Lovano and Regina Carter.

Never heard it called "middle jazz". I always knew it as "mainstream".

Particularly enjoyed his work on this one: Saw him once - at Le Chat Qui Pêche in Paris - in 1964 IIRC.

Didn't he co-own Nocturne Records with Roy Harte? Indeed he did! http://indianapublicmedia.org/nightlights/the-nocturne-records-story/
