Review of Jazz Etc - John Murray

My Jazzy 'Birth Of Cool' by Miles Davies Remastered.

Advantages: Excellent Jazz Album.
Disadvantages: None!

At that time in the late 1940,s fast jazz was the latest craze, but Miles Davis had his own style of this Music. It was called cool jazz and became very popular.

HONDA JAZZ 1.4 SE CVT-7. AUTOMATICALLY BETTER?

Advantages: Great Transmission. Smooth Engine. Low Running Costs. Hugely Spacious Interior. Build Quality.
Disadvantages: Messy Dashboard Styling. Uninspiring Exterior Styling.

of a very thorough 60 mile test drive last week. On arriving at Honda Chiswick, handing over my Accord for a 50,000 mile service, the service receptionist asked me if I would like a manual or automatic courtesy car. Knowing that the fleet of manual Jazz courtesy cars are bottom of the range 1.2 litre cars, without air conditioning, I opted to take the 1.4 automatic. At this point I should say that, having driven many different ones over the last twenty years, I have never been a fan of small automatics. My sole reason for choosing this car was that we wanted to visit a country house some thirty miles away, and prefer the comfort of an air conditioned car! Very conveniently, due to that fact, we had the camera with us, enabling me to take the pictures you see below. It is unusual that I actually manage to photograph the actual car that I am ...
