Happy 50th Birthday Jezzer Nelson?

[Tenor Freak]

Last Saturday afternoon, listening as I was to Gilles Peterson just down't road (sorry Alyn) I was intrigued to note the following dedication (skip to 2:29:24 here http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03zxqqq)

...that's going out to Jez...fifty years...Friday...happy birthday

Now, I remember Jezzer when he was Gilles' sidekick on Mad on Jazz on BBC Radio GLR; it could only be him, right?

And what was the record played? Sun Ra perhaps? Cecil Taylor? Weather Report? Er...no...

Happy birthday

"My fiftieth year had come and gone,
I sat, a solitary man,
In a crowded London shop,
An open book and empty cup
On the marble table-top."

"And then, with racing pulse,
I screamed, "I am the narco geezer from Something Else,
I am the baldy guy with the baseball cap,
And I play a lot a load of well, mostly....carp."*



*Just joking...only when Jezza plays tracks by Concrete Lizard or Seb Drums Whatever. The Leroi Jones "aka" tribute was very good and politically honest. Fine

There has been some good stuff recently - still find him a bit crap as a presenter, though and the constant references to Something Else are irritating.

Yes....a generosity of spirit is needed....found....and now forgotten ....now nasty taste....life goes on....scanning for interest....
