1) One oddity from my collection is the band Fresh, a ‘boy band’ constructed by Simon Napier-Bell. Simon Napier-Bell had been a manager for The Yardbirds way back in the mid 1960’s, he went onto manage an early Marc Bolan outfit called Johns Children. He also did the music for the 1968 film ‘Here We Go Around The Mulberry Bush’ and as Nuzz and myself know well, was fittingly set and filmed in glamorous 1960’s Stevenage New Town. One day in 1968 Kit Lambert, then manager of The Who told Simon Napier-Bell that he was getting together a concept album...

“大鸟” 　　1920年出生的Charlie Parker是爵士史上最伟大的中音萨克斯风手，更是爵士史上最才气纵横的萨克斯风手，绰号Bird的Charlie Parker也是对整个爵士乐发展造成决定性影响的乐手。在他担任领班期间，旗下更包括了年轻的Miles Davis等众多后来的大师乐手，在咆勃爵士乐史上他与钢琴手Bud Powell、小号手Dizzy Gillespie三人被公认为咆勃爵士的领导先驱。Charlie Parker的吹奏技巧无与伦比，无论在小编制当中的引领乐句转折，或是在堪萨斯市Big Band俱乐部里光芒四射的独奏桥段，不管Parker再怎么吸毒、饮酒狂欢、放纵声色，只要他含起萨克斯风吹口，吹奏出的每一段旋律都是空前绝后般地惊才绝豔。与小号手Dizzy Gillespie并肩齐步飙奏时，节奏速度彷佛达到非人的「魔鬼」境界。将精力与天赋同时放在毒品的火焰中两头燃烧的Parker死时才卅五岁，医生检验他的身体时却觉得像是六十五岁的苍老躯体。他的影响无远弗届，Miles Davis晚年曾说：「如果没有Parker，今天的爵士乐听起来将完全不同。」，诚如其言。 .
