sonyc 5,525 Posted January 12, 2023 Came across this recently (R3 I think) and I missed the TV series (either I was a bit too young or didn't have a TV then) but I seemed to remember the tune. Anyone else watch it? Think it was a precursor to Cheers? Given a bit more of a jazz feel live here... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herman 9,776 Posted January 13, 2023 Also got this. Jazz-rock at its best, with some great guitaring from John McLaughlin, a great groove and Miles at his best. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
littleyellowbirdie 2,551 Posted January 13, 2023 (edited) Three tracks I really like, two sampling, the original piece from the third, Shostakovich Symphony no.7, 4th movement. Each is fantastic in its own right. The first caught my interest when it was used on BBC MOTD2 some years back, the second I found by accident trying to find out what the music in BBC MOTD2 was, and the third I knew already as one of my favourite composers: Edited January 13, 2023 by littleyellowbirdie 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or in fact why I bother to do anything else other than listen to Shostakovich. It passes of course. Mundanity intrudes. But he is, for me, the most special of all the special composers I love. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
