Thanks for that info. Harry Klein is another of those musicians from Ronnie's generation who would have been known to older jazzers from that time. And one sometimes hears older jazz fans mention Bill Povey. As to Bill Jackman? Never heard of him tbh. Now, I expect someone, possibly a few years my senior, to say, "What? You've never heard of Bill Jackman? Dear me, tut tut".

ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta - ta - ta - tatata - taaa
The Ravel piece I'm most reminded of by the initial perc-di-valse is ....the almost inaudible opening of.... La Valse, of course.... try it.... the similarity is the more striking given the use of bassoon in both passages - as if Szymanowski was inspired by that texture, the rhythm and theme emerging from dark depths....

Haven’t been able to shift a snippet from a Squeeze song, that I haven’t heard in ages , for a couple of days.
It is a linking passage with the lyric” Have confidence , have faith”. I think somebody is telling me sometjing. The deep ancient wisdom of SE. London I guess.I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

I'm mystified by the amount of affection this bland piece inspires. But there it sits, in my brain.
