Yeah, Marc Johnson was on conventional upright in that group. Absolutely no electronics !

I've been diggin' 'Blue Notes For Mongezi' on vinyl recently and will eventually get round to ordering the CD box from Hazel too.

Yeah, good wishes from me too. The positive attitude to change is the key and is bound to pay dividends.

There was even a vinyl record label over here totally dedicated to their hobby of train spotting/recording ('Transacord' - sister label to Argo records !)

Boozed up idiots who think they can attract the ladies by getting gored to death. Morons !

Vic Lewis and his All-Stars 'At The Beaulieu Festival' (Ember, mono) - Ronnie Ross and Kenny Wheeler in the band.

Thanks !

Really? They play it on the TV just about every year over here - so I would have seen it about 10-12 times. There's quite a bit of jazz on the soundtrack - one of the suspense sections has what sounds suspiciously like the Gerald Wilson Big Band on it but I've never seen confirmation of this.

That's interesting to hear. Cobb's 'Kind of Blue' band is playing the Tower of London (!) in September in recognition of the 50th for the album. Would you recommend it?

Yeah, I saw George's band on the tour when that one came out too - with Hilton Ruiz on piano, Herbie lewis on bass and Billy Higgins on drums. Bought the LP pronto after hearing them. George was in magnificent form that tour. The next visit he did to Scotts, he brought his Octet !
