Good to see there is still deep pits and coal mining in Hackney. I thought it was just the Islington valley. Slots in with Stephen Kinnock (the idiot son) castigating those (in Labour) who "drink coffee in London coffee shops"! Stephen only drinks Camp coffee out of jamjar after a twelve hour shift at the coal face. He's that authentically proletarian.

Well, any coffee shop round here gets rid of a fiver at least...just possibly, someone with small kids and a rented place might not feel able to splash that kind of cash.

I have coffee out whenever I feel like it, and am endlessly grateful that I don’t have to count pennies. I don’t think it matters how metropolitan the coffee shop may be.

One of S.Kinnock's first actions as an MP was to put a "Capuchino frother machine" on his expenses! He's married to the former Danish prime minister, that lifestyle. Dear God, the posturing.

Those Northern first time tories have finished the career of the down "that" London, MP for fairly working class Finsbury Park, who now may be replaced as leader of the Labour Party by the MP for the neighbouring "Liberal Elite" strongholds of Barnsbury and Canonbury. Don't know their London geography I suppose

Or "Children's Coffee" as my Mum (possibly unfairly) called it.

In terms of a Christmas Party, I thought it was great, and full marks to the Hackney Colliery Band and Jumoké Fashola.
A very merry and Jazzy Christmas to all!

We were reminded (imo) just how good a saxophonist Pete Wareham is or can be; I wasn't too sure about the band's drummer, though - a bit haphazard and heavy-handed with his accents, I thought.

It was a party S_A, man - lighten-up!

Best wishes for the season.

A Merry Christmas to all, can it get any bleaker? "Yes it can", says our new "Government", "we've only just begun".

Anyway, here's Sonny Rollins & a young Herbie playing "Winter Wonderland" from 1964. "It's reeeally nice!", says Rudolph. And thanks SA for doing these listings all year, much appreciated. Have a good one.

Heeeeere's Sonny...http://youtu.be/chfdV2bpllg

Sonny Rollins's 3 Little Words, the final track of the first ever album by Sonny I ever bought, having managed to see him at Ronnie's at a legendary residency a year later than this. Here he treated changes rhythmically like some sort of obstacle course, and I still remember being knocked out by the extraordinary tonal (in both senses) variations on those fours with Roker.
