Today marks the anniversary of the death of Jon Hiseman, an event two years ago which appeared to pass unnoticed by you bunch of musical philistines (apologies to Dirty and Prof). Jon Hiseman was in my opinion was the best British drummer of the twentieth century, who after playing for John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers, formed Colosseum, variously described as a jazz, blues, rock band. I was fortunate to see Colosseum live after the band had been considerably strengthened by the arrival of Clem Clempson on guitar and Chris Farlowe as vocalist, joining Dave Greenslade on keyboards, Dick Heckstall-Smith on sax and Mark Clark on bass. Jon Hiseman also played drums on all but one tracks on the Jack Bruce solo album, songs for a tailor.

More than 20 years after Colosseum split up, they reunited for a couple of concerts in Germany, with one recorded as a DVD, which is one of the best purchases I’ve made

Like most sane people, I find drum solos far too lengthy but Jon Hiseman’s Solo Colonia is a great example of technical ability and showmanship. Anyone unfamiliar with the work of Colosseum could do worse than watch/listen to Skelington before moving on to The Valentyne Suite.

Jon Hiseman was a great band-leader and a fabulous drummer.

I'm fucking appalled, O. You must be feeling a little aggrieved yourself, having watched Roger Waters in concert.
I can understand him directing his wrath at the site trumpet lovers though...

He's another on my ever growing blocked list of site dolts, vagerbonds & Hobnob haters.

I guess the trumpet lovers on here stems back to the times when they were members of their local Jazz Bands that used to be around in their younger days?

I just love this John Lennon song about his mate McCartney, very bitter with things like "The only thing you ever did was 'Yesterday" the sarcastic "You must have learned something after all those years" also "How do you sleep at night" and the very true "Pretty soon people will see what you can do".



RIP Sir John.
Legend.

New Kaytranada album is a damn fine thing, if that’s the sort of thing that floats your boat.

I heard you like the Beatles so I got some Beatles for you wait come back this is what it's supposed to sound like McCartney is a genius

Unbridled joy in Casa Musta today.
A previously unknown recording of the bestest Thelonious Monk 4tet has appeared.
The story behind it is just brilliant.

Heard a few snippets and it sounds bloody ace, the band is bang in the zone and Monk is on top form.
Hurrah!

Someone has uploaded the well received four part doc ‘Wu Tang: Of Mics & Men’ to Dailymotion. First part is here. It’s very well put together and unflinchingly honest at times.

Gradually catching up on this from Reruns, yeah, quality.

Fantastic.
Herman Matthews is da bomb.
AWB did a storming version of this, featuring one of the all-time top 10 guitar solos.
