Interesting one pager on Mr King in this weeks issue of ‘First’ magazine.  Nothing we haven’t read but nice to see all the same  They have a feature on pop stars ‘then and now’ and also feature Limahl, Go West, Toyah and Sonya.  They all recreate a pic from back in the day.  Marks is a 1985 shot I think.  The mag is only £1.20.  Just you know ‘First’ is a weekly mag for women who do not get a chance to read a paper or watch the news – my wife loves it.  It will probably be alongside such mags as Heat, Closer and OK.

 

I work in advertising so can probably get a few copies if anyone cannot get one so just let me know.

With apologies to any old lags who've read bits of
this before in one form or another...

1) Easiest pick is Art Pepper - Winter Moon. Pepper
was an alto player who spent the best part of thirty
years wreaking drug and alcohol havoc on his body,
before getting clean and spending the last seven years
of his life in a period of creative and commercial
success. Critics would disagree but I think Winter
Moon is his finest hour, a sumptuous, romantic set
with string accompaniment which serves to emphasise
the soulful yet edgy intensity of his soloing. This is
the jazz album I recommend to people who don't like
jazz - if they don't like this one, then they are
indeed better off with The Lighthouse Family.

2) Stevie Wonder - Innervisions. Obviously you're
spoilt for choice when it comes to Stevie Wonder, but
this one comes as close to faultless as any of his.
Not only is there not a duff track, there's barely a
track that isn't a classic.

3) Jason Rebello - Keeping Time. Which shows a young
lion of British jazz piano at the height of his
eclectic powers. By turns funky, evocative, powerful,
witty, it's all there.

4) Propellerheads - Decksandrumsandrockandroll. A
pumping big beat powerhouse of an album, one of only a
handful from the last decade to genuinely excite me.
Worth getting for their extraordinary take on On Her
Majesty's Secret Service alone.

5) Somewhere in the Digest archives is an in-depth
appraisal of The Nightfly, which I shan't bother to
reproduce because a) the last time I did some bloke
whose name I can't remember went a bit ballistic and
b) nobody's reading this any more anyway.
