      Just read on the comments to that Yewtube vid that Derek Watkins has passed away. IF this is true (and I don't believe everything I read on teh internets) then RIP Derek - a fine contributor to many a session, Jimmy Bond and Kenny Wheeler alike. (Saw him play on the KW 80th birthday tour, v.good he was too and apparently he played the lead tpt on Goldfinger aged 19.)
      all words are trains for moving past what really has no name

        He played the very fine featured (moody) trumpet on the score of "The Ipcress File"...(1965?) with Michael Caine.
