Regarding trans-generational musical tastes/knowlwdge, I think we genuinely become older and wiser. Growing up when I did, I had t...

Re: Joni Mitchell
Joni Mitchell is a very special talent indeed. I'd like to have seen the documentary myself. Did you ever see the footage from her Shadows and Light video that accompanied the album of the same name (those many years ago!)? It also featured Pat Metheny and Jaco Pastorius -- how good is that? My 'fin...

Gypsy Jazz
Fab concert at the Queen Elizabeth Hall last night from Eduardo Niebla 's trio (Carl Herring on second guitar; Dharmesh Parmar on Indian tabla).

I first heard Gordon play when I was in the second year of a design course, spending my grant (those were the days!) on as many concert tickets as I could afford. The venue was Leicester's De Montfort Hall, the year was 1978 and Gordon's band were supported by Shirley Roden. Unsurprisingly it was a ...

Tommyfest, Harrow
I just wanted to say how much my wife, my son and I enjoyed the performances on Sunday night. What a terrific line-up! Gordon Giltrap, Tommy and (unexpected bonus) the Frank Vignola Trio!! There's little else to say, except that it was fan-blinkin'-tastic!
