I watched Herbie Hancock on the iPlayer last night, with a good pair of headphones on.
That was my set of the festival, and if I’m honest the players seemed on an entirely different level to anything else I saw t […] -

Macca was fabulous- let’s not forget he’s just turned 80 ( so any minor vocal croaks can surely be forgiven).

Just watched about 10 minutes of Yves Tumor on the iPlayer- almost mesmerisingly awful & therefore bordering on entertaining. But only bordering.

I never saw the Pistols (I failed after being misdirected on the S.P.O.T.S. tour later) but I did see The Damned fairly early on & they were blistering & incredibly tight- older brothers of friends who’d seen b […]

To answer the OP, round about when the Ewoks won the day in the 3rd one.
After the refreshingly bracing tone of Empire gave the yarn a little bit of heft (just a whiff of menace to offset the bickering droids […] -

I’m sure someone of note once said ‘ Stan Getz is a nice bunch of people’.
(I think I’ve heard this comment about Jagger as well, but more concerning his ‘Zelig’ like Chameleon nature, sometimes Mockney, so […] -

It’s always a good time for Art Pepper IMO.

Ruud Gullit, fairly useful in footballing matters was asked decades ago in a TV interview
