That is a brilliant track, loved it

He was at the excellent Hop Farm festival a couple of weeks ago. Great set, but the previous time I saw him, he had the legendary Ronny Cuber on sax (tenor, unusually) - and he was missed.

I find him a bit variable, but at his best he's brilliant.

My favourite Dr John album is 'Duke Elegant' featuring compositions by or associated with Ellington, but done in a different style. For example:

Get the album if you can.

How are you guys getting on with "Lock Down"- his new one? Very raw production and harking back to his early 70s material.... reckon it'd be a love it or hate it one round here.....
