This was top of my list as well. I've only caught the first two or three songs so far, but agree with your comments and I'm looking forward to the rest. btw this just appeared on their facebook feed...

This series has just kicked off on Sky Arts, with all six shows available to download if you're suitably equipped. It's pretty much as it says on the tin, a band performs a "classic" album in its entirety. The bands and albums are. Stereophonics - Just Enough Education to Perform Simple Minds - New Gold Dream Gregory Porter - Liquid Spirit ABC - The Lexicon of Love Peter Frampton - Frampton Comes Alive! Dexys Midnight Runners - Too-Rye-Ay Now I'm not sure how many of these count as classics, but I'll be watching maybe around half of them. Of currently active bands - who would you like to see in series 2, and which album would they perform?

Fresh!

Sometimes I'm glad you can't see my stocking tops in this photo

Great vengeance! (and furious anger)

Was he in Python Lee Jackson?

Birmingham has always been great, and inspired so many famous songs Harborne To Run Close To The Edgbaston Sutton Coldfields of Gold No Jewellery Quarter Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Selly Oak Tree I'm sure there are many others you'll be able to remind me of

Especially 2m51s onwards

thanks all! so digging into the iReal Pro docs leads to these chords being called (as mentioned above) 'alternate chords', but doesn't give any indication of when they should be played, just how to notate them in iReal Pro charts then googling around variations on 'when to use alternate chords on a jazz chart' only leads to either altered chords or chord substitutions, neither of which is what we're looking for here. advice from this thread (again thanks) can be distilled down to "it depends", which is pretty much what I've discovered is the general guideline for most questions arising from trying to get hip to learning jazz!

I see what you're getting at - but I've also seen charts with say four chords per bar, which seems to cater for momentary chords.

in this case they are tritones, just coincidence I think. Found another example, Stella By Starlight with a Edim7 with a Gm7 and C7 on top. Is it one chord for soloists, another for compers?

When reading a chart for a standard at your local jazz night, what's the significance of the chord symbols in a smaller font above the bigger typed chords? Here's an example thanks to Sonny Rollins. So it's the Eb7 in bar 1, the D7 in bar 2, same again in bars 5 and 6. I'm sure it's google-able if you know the right term for it, which I don't. Thanks!

Peter Gabriel and Genesis - the band were still ok for a bit, and PG went on to massive and better things.

Bit like Captain Kirk? left ear, right ear, final front ear.

Yes, very

Have you ever considered writing lyrics for Jon Anderson?

Peter Hook is well known for this kind of thing

And looking like this (teacake is down there somewhere, promise)

I'm a long-time fan of the red Tunnocks Caramel Wafer, and latterly the blue. Another delicacy I came across while in Scotland was the Tunnocks Sundae, described thus
