The ROH geezer, but is it good for this forum and R3 that he knows something about music -or is that too simplistic ?

Salymap is absolutely correct in my view.

Sorry to be boring, but there were many interesting contemporary/ Jazz-inspired works with Tony Hall at ROH.

In any event a great improvement over the last DG but one, who appeared ready to axe anything that did not make a profit.

That'll be Mark "Lucky" Thompson then?

I have all his records.

BTW, I see the Royal Opera House (former prop. Tony Hall) is putting together a joint programme with the Montreux Jazz Fest in 2013.

Not Charlotte Church sings Sun Ra again? In Welsh?

At this point I should mention that the REAL Tony Hall is still alive and was instrumental in getting Tubby's New Groove, a scheduled but cancelled Bnote album in 59, released last year..

All praise.
