He reminds me of Britain's Philip Larkin - someone from the literary world whose attitude to jazz is far from orthodox, dismissing major areas of the music. Whose orthodoxy are we talking about here? The generally agreed consensus; e.g. Larkin rejected Charlie Parker and all post-Parker jazz.

I saw him play with Sonny Stitt at Mac's, 100 Oxford Street in London in about 1982. (I think you saw them there, too, JohnS?) Wikipedia is giving yesterday as the date of his death, which would make him 84.

Suite for Pops is a winner and never made it to CD, AFAIK. Hope yours is in playable condition - like mine

Well, if the subtlety and finesse of the music of Charlie Parker suited you, I guess you might find something lacking in the popular hits of Bobby Timmons. This is what I think Jones was talking about.

Still reading latter-day Le Carré! This one was pretty good.

Great story! Never managed to catch J J, but saw Kai in London in 1972 with this outfit: Nowadays I frequently go to hear Lee Hallam and Duncan Winfield, a local trombone duo who play Jay and Kai's arrangements with great verve. Nice to know the music of those trombone masters is still alive!
