Well he wasn’t Archie Shepp, granted, but “crap sax”? Even watching out for an affordable copy of Chris Wood’s box set from a while back. Yeah, good lad was Chris.

Letting the drug-addled Jimmy Miller loose on the single didn’t improve it IMO. Extra vocals and the non-musician’s instrument of choice, the tambourine (x6, I’m guessing). Appalling.

Probably the only case of […]

Can I just point out that, even if you know the Deutschland Über Alles bit, the third verse featuring this line is actually banned in Germany, and references to it are obscured by calling it “the third verse”. […]

FZ was never a jazzer, although his 1972-1974 band featured a real hot lineup with George Duke, Ruth Underwood, etc. You’d probably enjoy “Roxy And Elsewhere”, Uncle.

Sorry for your trouble (as we say in Ireland).

When my Mammy died, the younger brother did the honours, Danny Boy, natch.
