‘Nephew Dave’ (as he isn’t known – though his antecedents are widely known, at least in my household, as ‘Uncle Spike’ and ‘Auntie Liz’) is thrilled at the willingness of the Afterword gang to fill in the survey […]

My good pal ‘Uncle Spike’ has an entrepreneurial offspring called Dave, who’s doing a degree in event management (I know, I know…). Still, we are where we are.
Dave’s dissertation involves a survey about the […] -

I’m fed up having to more or less apologise to people for the non-reply to (business-related) enquiries to the estate representative of a late artist I’d be considered an expert on. Not to acknowledge an email, […]

Like Clem, I immediately thought of Roxy Music – a string of utterly anonymous bass players in a band of otherwise well-known personalities. Strange.

The elephant in the room here is that Brooce’s entire oeuvre is about breaking down on the edge of town. If he’s now driving a more robust vehicle, surely that bodes ill for his future repertoire?

I don’t really – but also I’m aware that it’s a still-available release (albeit limited to 500) so I don’t want to trample on that.

Funny, I always thought that as well re: Kinorra. Seemingly not – it’s supposedly and amalgam of his three fave drummers’ names: Phil Seamen, Tony Kinsey and Bobby Orr. Which is itself a bit weird. I was surprised […]

Apparently Charles used car paint to get that silver hand look. Took ages to come off.

Strictly speaking, it isn’t the Organisation, it’s the Graham Bond Quartet. The GBO name wasn’t used until April 1964. Even when Dick Heckstall-Smith replaced John McLaughlin in September 1963, they carried on […]

What ‘Phil Kinorra’ (born Robert Anson) did next, after a 1967 single as Julien Covey: a 1970 pop-psych album as Philamore Lincoln. After which he seems to have disappeared back into mystery…

And finally, what do we have to represent the mysterious Phil Kinorra? As a jazz drummer, only this – the legendary 1961 New Don Rendell Quintet LP ‘Roarin”.

Brian Auger received his ‘Melody Maker’ ‘New Star’ trophy in February 1964, during the Pigalle/Society residency – but he would make no commercial recordings in that decade on piano, the instrument that he was […]

And here is John McLaughlin, recorded at Klooks Kleek in June 1963 with the Graham Bond Quartet – released in 1970 on a Graham Bond compilation ‘Solid Bond’.

In the absence of any audio from the fleeting moments of the Brian Auger Quintet (or Society Club trio within that) and the Rick Laird Trio, we can circle around it in audio-space-time. Here is Rick (with the rest […]

A track from the fabulous 2017 ‘Record Collector’ mag 2LP release of Don Rendell at Klooks Kleek [no apostrophe] in September 1963 – the only known evidence of Glenn Hughes (d. 1966) playing jazz.
