Be Gentle and not Argue

Hard agree, which is why I am requesting a track from this release to be played by Alyn on JRR.

Wasn't it just!!! It felt like Chet's party had been gatecrashed, however good the singer. I agree too about the Surman - there is a definite tailing off of energy and inspiration in later years, though I have one BBC studio session with that band (mentioned in the pre-conversation with Alyn) and there have been fine recordings tucked among a variable mix: one from around the Millennium with an oud player. Oud have thought it?

Ian Thumwood has laid the charge that someone made a silly comment to the effect that Surman's output nosedived in later years. If my above post was the one he was referring to, nowhere did I say this - or perhaps he had another post in mind?
