Fairly quiet with punters so we all played a mellower set than normal,with me playing thre bossa nova tunes  from a comp called "THe Bossa Nova,Exciting Samba Rhythms Vol 1" (Rare Groove LP)

Good Taste at The Evening Star

I was in my local,The Evening Star, at around five for a couple of pints of ale,and one of the bar staff put on a CD I never would expect to be heard in the pub (or any pub for that matter) - Ornette Coleman's "The Shape of Jazz To Come" - a classic piece of avant-garde jazz form the sixties.

Previously he played  one third of  the three CD "Orphans" set  by Tom Waits.
He's got taste.

It is even better when they play one of my mix CDRs.

Busy day tomorrow. Film in the morning at The Duke of York Picturehouse, then the usual monthly FTLC. Finally the next Brighton Brillo at the Quadrant from late afternoon to the evening.
