    @jc Not really but I enjoy some soundtracks like The Mission and other Ennio Morricone stuff.

    Despite the video being 'set' in Portmeirion, Wales, this band is actually from Wainuiomata, signed to an Irish funk and soul label, remaking an American tune from the sixties made popular by the Northern Soul movement in the north of England. Make of that what you will.

    A whole lot of hipster tosh?

    Tosh maybe but about as far from hipster as you could go.

    Yep. But not as much as I used to. One of my favourite pieces of music.

    PS: Gershwin is apparently really, really hard to play well. Even for the best pianists.

    @jc I have even posted some baroque here but it got ignored in the race to fap over yet another over-hyped 90's grunge garage band 😉

    @victor-meldrew Have you listened to Larry Adlers Glory of Gershwin? Adler with a host of big name for the 90's vocalists

    Heres Peter Gabriel doing Summertime

    @dogmeat I know what you mean. When I'm working I pretty much exclusively listen to classical. If I ever get the chance to be on my own overnight at home I listen to some more challenging stuff that Mrs JC won't tolerate. Dim lights, a good red and I'm happy.

    @dogmeat

    I've almost worn out the CD.... Courtney Pine's "Summertime" is my favourite track on the album. There's a documentary on Youtube on how it was made.

    This song has a knack of coming on the Radio just as I’m about to park up for an appointment…..

    Given that it’s probably the best song from the best band ever…..well it gets blasted loud and proud and I arrive eight or so minutes late. I never get sick of hearing it.

    An absolute masterpiece.

    Media and Twitter comments over the last week keep getting this childhood favourite playing in my brain:

    @Tim Lovely, thanks.

    Apple Music has an Atmos version of this recording.

    @tim I’ve found it. The worst album ever made. Even with Prince writing and producing, this is an absolute stinker.

    I remember when I was 17 telling a girl I liked "Drops of Jupiter" by Train in order to try get laid. I still feel dirty about it now.

    That sounds like a TSF challenge for the next time you click on the thread in public:

    You’re lucky you like Star Wars as much as you do, cos some of your other interests are “questionable”
