Watching Art Blakey now (well, mainly listening) - fab stuff. There was once a time that a particular record label - Blue Note - not only gave you a defined sound but guaranteed a quality.

The programme on Nica Rothschild was fascinating. What a cool woman, cat lover too. In the face of my views against our rulers and bankers, I make a big exception for her.

And Monk is next. A great night's tv viewing.
