Feel a tad guilty that so many DB fans here didn't actually ever see him live when I saw him 6 or 7 times and I'm not even a fan! Admittedly the first 3 occasions were attempts by me to work out whether I actually liked what he was doing or not (or "understand", if you prefer), the rest he was just there when I showed up to the gig.

Interesting, didn't know about Stevens' and Rutherford's involvement with Watts. I read an interview with Parker where he said Charlie was always trying to get him to play more "out" in that band.

Started watching them last week for the first time, its a model on how music docs should be done.
Not saying he wasn't nice in person but turn to his spiky comments on jazz and the museum in the 3rd EP..

ha, the Iskra 1903 reminder above reminds me that when Hughie Green did his big "Stand Up And Be Counted" meltdown on Opportunity Knocks at the beginning of '77, both Derek B and Paul R were in the studio orchestra behind him!
