Most of the French jazz I listen to is solo Gypsy guitar, Stu - Bireli Lagrene, Stochelo Rosenberg, Fapy Lafertin but you might like to check this band out - Gipsytheque, great sax player and violinist. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgJ-QJsW0Mk And this guy, Ibrahim Maalouf who plays a trumpet with four valves that his father invented, so he can get semi-tones in, allowing him to bring in Middle-Eastern influences. His last album Diagnostic, defies categorization - never heard anything like it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBG2VWwIYlE&feature=related Enjoy!

Wow - that was a surprise, Kish - Paul Weller's and my musical paths haven't crossed for quite some years, but that was very good.
Kish, thats brilliant ! - must admit Paul Weller was one of my biggest influences in getting to like Jazz along with Steely Dan, although this is quite old now, this is probably my fave track ever... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmUfP37d8yU
Just noticed that I'm into a lot of slow stuff at present? Here's the track I always played when a relationship broke up there were a few... [video=youtube;F8nlQ4VI4Uk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8nlQ4VI4Uk&feature=related[/video] Yes that must of really helped.... how stupid was I?

I am so pleased that I started this thread: the banter, the music chat, books, and general nuttiness - all superb! brb - do you honestly go on caravan holidays to Romania? Sounds interesting...! A4L - I had to look twice at that AT-AT Walker. Great stuff. Jimbob - that was no dream! Tewks - you must be the most cultured man on the planet! This site is absolute quality. I take my hat off to all of you.
I don't think either of my ex-wives would agree with you, Ponders! You're right about this site, though.
Nah, I obviously made that bit up to keep it interesting - Romania or Essex would most definitely not be on my list. I tend to generally be a last minute flyer, so just go with the moment dependent of the price on offer.
