    Moon shot postponed - Sun Ra copycats blamed

    Today's setback in the long quest to send Donald Trump and Boris Johnson on the first ever one-way mission to our nearest planet has been ascribed to a combination of lightning strikes at Met Office headquarters and all-round failure to hold onto traditional Radio 3 listeners.

    "Following six weeks of consultation with our party roots we found the glitch to be a kinetic bloco - a Brazilian term familiar to Copacabana Exiles otherwise attributed in Dixieland circles to excessive consumption of hard bop", a BBC spokesperson of indeterminate gendre reporting from Cape Notting Hill Canaveral told us, adding,

    "Listeners to next week's programme will be interested to know that a previously unreleased wax cylinder recording of Buddy Bolden trying to persuade the young Louis Armstrong not to take up jass will be first prize in our online raffle".

    One flaw here - the Moon is not a Planet. By the way was the idea hatched when Boris and Trump tied in a Sinatra impression competition and the song chosen was taken literally!

          Talking about "way back", I've been reading a lot of old Downbeat magazines on line, and also UK publications. The old Jazz News in particular, 1960s. Arrogant & insular they seem, particularly the reviews. But what made me laugh was a letter from a "Mr Brian Jones, the guitarist with the Rolling Stones R&B band", from about 1962, firmly pointing out that R&B was not jazz, but actually "the city negro's pop music". Not sophisticated like jazz.

          Glad we got that sorted Brian. In Cheltenham.
