      Surely this is not a look that you would favour? That album cover must be the worst fashion disaster in the history of jazz.

      Freddy was one of the greatest artists ever. Nothing dodgy about his moustache and if his teeth are unglamorous, it's not a fault.

        Then why don't some of you chaps start a channel? It's much easier, these days.

              FM was certainly a great artist, one of the greatest, perhaps not. As a I am not a supporter of any association (or other) football team and one who believes Essex has some redeeming features (there was a great programme by Jonathan Meades on this, discussed on these very boards) I couldn't possibly comment on this nasturtium!

                Essex has some redeeming features. It is about 120 miles away from Hampshire and you can buy various fruit jams from Tiptree. I also believe Coggeshall is quite picturesque and that John Constable hailed from that part of the world. Still find the language barrier a bit of an obstacle, I'm afraid.

                  Oh I dunno - the lady with the dog's home who advertises Vistaprint is quite easy to understand.

                    Yep. Once you get north of Chelmsford the county is very nice. I'm sure some people would prefer to call north Essex, South Suffolk

                    And there are some nice Jazz venues too !!!

                      well you just have to choose which estuary Ian

                      well said Tom A! there are excellent jazz spots in that neck of the woods ...

                      and incidentally it was a pleasant experience to drop off to those wonderfully familiar masterworks by Charlie Parker last night ...

                        Great for people who come from or live in Essex, but completely irrelevant to me.

                            I'm afraid the first sentance of that review pretty much sums up where Branford Marsalis is currently at, for me. Nice pic of Kate Williams, whom I like very much, down the LHS, though.
