He did indeed he then become a big disappointment. He’s now left politics and they have just reformed the band late last year.
They were a band I really enjoyed when I heard them on the radio, but for some reason I never got round to buying any of their stuff. I’ll have a look on Qobuz/Tidal tomorrow.
Now playing…
Dreyfus Jazz Club - In the Mood of… Miles

Streaming on Qobuz (44.1/16)… continuing on this afternoon with this fine album and it is sounding mighty sweet! Only six tracks for a little under 35 minutes but it is worth the time to take out for a spin…
Kirsty MacCall - Tropical Brainstorm, witty lyrics and South American rhythms.
Just listen this one, a great album and good interpretation. SQ is quite good also.
Now playing…

Max Roach (Drums), Richard Williams (Trumpet), Julian Priester (Trombone), Clifford Jordan (Tenor Saxophone), Mal Waldron (Piano), Art Davis (Bass),
Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson (Conductor) and Abbey Lincoln (Vocals on track 6).
Streaming on Qobuz (44.1/16)… continuing on this afternoon with this album from Max Roach which was recorded in 1962 and sounding mighty sweet! A bit nostalgist feel to this album but maybe its just me from pretty much working from home for the past three months and its Friday and its sunny and warm… I could go on but I won’t… the music is damm good…
Manuel Blasco de Nebra (1750-1784) was a keyboard player as well as a composer, and an assistant to his father José, who was organist at Seville Cathedral. Manuel is reckoned to have composed around 170 works in his short career, but of those only 30 pieces, all for either harpsichord or fortepiano, survived.
