Hee hee. I don't like biographical type documentaries. I'd rather they got into the technical stuff, the problems they faced etc. Even if you know nothing in advance you learn something, and some of the enthusiasm rubs off. I saw a fantastic documentary on Mark Morris, the choreographer. Usually I'd put dance on a par with Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals but not after seeing that. Jurren: "Flood" is good, especially the cover art! Check with Nick the Record, I think he has one on sale. Hit me off list if you want. > Maybe JT can recommend some stuff for us for the list? or anyone else? top > 5 jazz lp's to find that we might like?? > would be interested to know..... Personally, I'll stick to Blue Note and suggest, as well as those Herbie Hancock LPs: Joe Henderson's "Page One" Kenny Dorham's "Una Mas" Bobby Hutcherson's "Patterns" Eric Dolphy "Out To Lunch!" Pete LaRoca "Basra" That's nowhere near enough! J
