..just reminiscing....

My old dad's most favourite music was the Big Bands of Stan Kenton,
Buddy Rich,Ted Heath etc, of his youth,
and the Prog Rock & Krautrock synthesiser music of his middle age..

One of his proudest possessions was the original release
of Stan Kenton's early 1950s 'experimental' progressive jazz project
"City of Glass".

Much to the disgust and annoyance of my grandad who was an ex military bandsman
and great uncle who played accordion at local pub singsongs...

I've heard, at first they could barely tolerate this weird young modern chap who'd married my mother..

I'm playing "City of Glass" on youtube right now....😎
