  1. GSJ: This week's theme Al & Zoot Excellent, of course, the only drawback being that all but one of the tracks played were already in my collection. The odd man out - from Zoot's Prestige and Vogue sides - is now on my purchase list.
  2. The SwingShift Big Band with guest soloist Alan Barnes at Southport this afternoon. In addition to his usual armoury of alto, bari and clarinet, Barnesy treated us to quite a bit of tenor playing this afternoon. His big band arrangements were good, too.
  3. Now listening to the Smalls audio archive: "Killer" Ray Appleton (dms) Jim Rotondi (tpt) Mike DiRubbo (alt) David Hazeltine (pno) Paul Gill (bs) Friday Sept 5th 2008
  4. Jutta Hipp Hip Hop Joshua Hoppy the Happy Frog
  5. Back to the roots this evening to accompany my current re-reading of Alan Lomax's Mr Jelly Roll. Have also been listening to Amazon samples from the 8CD Complete Library of Congress Recordings.
  6. JRR Liked the Barnes track - but then I'm going to hear him tomorrow! Shall see if I can also squeeze in Geoffrey Smith's show tomorrow - its theme is Al & Zoot.

  16. Yeah, but I don't think it was a "mission" - just a desire to use English without sufficient knowledge of the language. For apostrophe freaks, I'll just mention that there was an Italian brand of jeans at the time called JEAN'S WEST.
  17. Sorry if I get off topic, but I wasn't taken by these store names I saw in Paris in the 70s: Selling sports shoes: ATHLETE'S FOOT Dry cleaning: STOP PRESSING
  18. Happy Birthday! Celebrate with a good movie!

  22. Used to have one of those. First, though, I had this: You won't approve of this Sidewinder, but in a programme of progressive replacement, I've ended up with a CD that looks like this:
