I remember that show! So interesting to hear Miles and Dizzy sounds in this little heard trumpeter.

That's right, the Italian styling was the hip fashion of the day. I remember it well. Ah, yes! This was the look: Wasn't that the "Mod" style also? So it went Italy>England>America? Well, here are Mods in England in the early sixties: P.S. It's obviously the subject of heavy academic study nowadays!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mod_(subculture)

Martin Amis? Total prat! Wouldn't waste my time reading anything by him. So pleased we've exported him somewhere else.

Or "high-waters" - that's the term I heard most often. "Half mast" is what I say.

I'd assumed you'd have been onto the Cohn, Bill. Worth listening to - not my centre of gravity but interesting and very enjoyable music. I'm sure you'll agree I have a good excuse for missing it! (See "Record Store Day" thread )

Only managed to catch the last 10 minutes of the Jazz Library show on Al Cohn, so must listen to the rest later on the iPlayer. I know Al isn't a tenor giant like Hawk, Pres Rollins or Trane, but where my personal favorites are concerned, he's up there! Some fine stuff on Jazz Record requests. For me, the standout track was Irene Kral with Alan Broadbent. Must get some of that in my collection!

Was in Vinyl Exchange (used CDs and vinyl) this afternoon and the place was buzzin', as they say round here. As noted before, the record store future could be in this sort of place. http://www.vinylexchange.co.uk/ I came out with a new copy of Here Comes Louis Smith for £4. (Carries a sticker "Promotional copy. Not for sale".)

Same here!

I have the same disc and I've never tired of it!
