Thanks for that ZPZ are one of the finest bands i've had the pleasure to witness, and i think George is right, they play the music better than they did!

I was at that gig!

well... i wasn't, but i did see 'em on that tour... no Terry though, and Dweezil blew an amp halfway through so Stevie had to play lead.

I saw them play 'Apostrophe' at the De Montfort hall in Leicester a few years back, stunning. Mind you the 'Muffin Men' played at the Musician in Leicester with a special guest.............................Denny Walley. As I was stood outside afterwards having a fag he came out and tried to light one up but his lighter had packed up so he asked me for a light.

Nice one. Seen the Muffin Men a few times, in fact they're playing the Lancaster Music Festival in a few weeks time.

Saw these fellows two or three years ago – about as improvisatory as you can get.

"Jazz ain't cool," Payton wrote. "It's cold, like necrophilia."

Ouch!

Reading a lot of the comments I get that some dont understand it and that it seems pretentious. Its not for everyone but to call jazz shite is unfair. I cant really explain why I love jazz only how it makes me feel. It actually makes me feel happy I get totally moved by it.

to call jazz shite is unfair

Not least if you're an ardent patriot of a country whose chief if not only contribution to world music is bagpipes...

I know what you mean, a bit of 'blues' hits the spot for me too though,

Yup I really enjoy blues too which is actually where Jazz came from or was it vice versa ?

Same 'roots' I think,

BTW the clips I posted were of a reunion gig of the band Steve Walwyn played in before he was asked to join this motley bunch (still plays with em now)

When Steve still had hair.

No, don't do Jazz ....

although, back when I was having guitar lessons with my home tutor he would often drop in a "nice bit of jazz" comment every time I hit a bum note or chord, often this would result in 5 minutes lost while I composed myself from LMAO.
