Really rather glorious, this. Rodlington Stewart with Ronnie Lane, Ronnie Wood, Ian McLagan and Kenney Jones tearing the arse out of Macca's 'Maybe I'm Amazed' in 1972. Marvellous as the original is, this really has something to it.
A magic moment in television history. The year is 1982, the show is Parkinson, the guests are Roy Castle, Kenny Everett and Buddy Rich. Plus a special surprise guest who makes his big entrance 2m 25s in. Explaining further would spoil the fun. Just watch it and enjoy it. Apologies for the rotten quality.
A rip-roaring piece of British modern jazz from the 1960s, from the very wonderful 'Jazz 625'. Here, the Tubby Hayes Big Band plays 'Suddenly Last Tuesday'.
From the 30 April 1987 edition of Top Of The Pops, here's Level 42 miming to To Be With You Again. Mark King is evidently such an amazing bass player that he doesn't even have to touch the instrument.
The Victor Feldman Trio - featuring Rick Laird on bass and the criminally underrated Ronnie Stephenson on drums - go 'Swinging On A Star' in 1965. Infectious, happy jazz.
Johnny Pearson's TOTP orchestra playing 'El Bimbo' by Bimbo Jet in 1975. Not a great piece of music, but a superb clip for a game of spot the session legend. So far I've got: Clem Cattini on drums, Derek Warne on electric piano, Bobby Lamb and Rick Kennedy on trombones, Kenny Wheeler, Ian Hamer and Leon Calvert on trumpets. Not sure who the southpaw bassist is. Any thoughts?
Carmen McRae belting out Rodgers & Hart's 'I Wish I Were In Love Again', aided by the superb Kenny Clarke/Francy Boland Big Band and an all-too-brief Francy Boland arrangement.
Here's a very fine and funky arrangement of 'Satisfaction', featuring a very young Harold Fisher on drums. Not sure who's on bass - I'd have said Herbie Flowers, but it doesn't look like him. Whoever it is plays up a storm.
Here, as a tribute to the late Nigel Pratt-Dumpster, is his contribution to LWT's 21st anniversary celebrations, as filtered through the eyes of Bob Mills.
The underrated comedian Jimmy Edwards gives his all on trombone and xylophone for an ATV variety show in the late 1960s. Jack Parnell and orchestra provide backing and try not to miss cues through laughing. Apologies for the quality. It was recorded on Sellotape.
