Guess there are degrees of improv - I have never been overly fond of out and out scat singing.

I always close my eyes whenever I go to see jazz musicians playing...

No, I really like this cd, I think it's brilliant, the more times I play it. If others do not, then that is OK

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

Oh, great, I am so pleased you you agree with me!

James Spaulding is the saxophonist.

Never heard of him until I saw Jools Holland but the CD was much better than the music he performed with the big band.

[Alyn_Shipton]

Ian I'm sure you'll have heard Spaulding before. With David Murray's touring bands (including the big band with Joel Brandon - jazz whistler - broadcast on Radio 3) and on CD with Freddie Hubbard, Art Blakey...etc? Or did you mean never heard of Gregory P?

Either Ian or myself started a thread at the Old Place about unsung musicians where the two of us discussed Spaulding.

Ian doesn't always make himself clear when he writes. Such a busy man...
