I'm curious as to which ABC album is better than Lexicon. (and "The Best Of" doesn't count) I think Simple Minds at least get a bye on account of currently touring most of the material shown in the Sky program. ABC have probably long been "Martin and session players".

Anyway now I've had chance to think and to answer my own question, here's my series two line-up Peter Gabriel - Us The Mars Volta - Amputecture (assuming Juan Alderete is back in action) Tool - Lateralus (Holy Gift running order, Forty Six & 2 encore) Magma - Ëmëhntëhtt-Ré (sing along everyone!) Opeth - Heritage or Pale Communion Phish - A Picture of Nectar or Billy Breathes obviously most of those would struggle to fit into the 60-minute format, but I'm sure they'll work it out

Dare I ask what happened to the singer you're replacing, and could she stay in situ until you've got a replacement?

and probably on Now TV, which (I think) has a monthly rolling contract like Netflix etc. I'm sure someone who knows what I'm talking about will be along shortly to correct me on this

it took me a few years to get anywhere near the bible. hiya!

Ah ok, that's a shame if that's the case (folk responding to that are getting VERY excited btw - live album, NGD tour, DVD etc)

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)

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.
