Jazz In The Key Of Blue [SACD] - Jimmy Cobb Quartet

* Bad Jimmy! *

Advantages: None!
Disadvantages: Everything!

The other week I was out shopping , when I decided to have a rummage in one of the many charity shops in my local town. I find shops like these great for finding DVDs and books (quite often , in very good condition!) at a really good price , and so I find by buying these this way I save a lot of a money and get more DVDs for a £10 in the shop , than I can if I buy them on the internet. Browsing through the huge collection of DVDs , all standing neatly on the shelves before my eyes , One with a red cover caught my eyes. 'Jimmy Carr : In Concert' was the title. I didn't really know much about this Jimmy Carr , although I remember him being a guest on a television chat show programme (I think it was Charlotte Church's show) and finding him quite funny , and so I decided what he was really like as a stand-up comedian. Jimmy Carr is ...

The Keys to the Moody Blues

Advantages: Evergreen, ever popular, ever on tour, ever the Moody Blues
Disadvantages: None

orchestra, the backing was supplemented by a synthesiser called a Mellotron. Each member of the group contributes songs and vocals although the most prodigious songwriter is Justin Hayward. The album ?Keys of the Kingdom? comes from their latter years and was produced in 1991. By this time the line up consisted of Justin Hayward (lead guitar), John Lodge (bass), Graeme Edge (Drums) and Ray Thomas (Flute).

If you are a fan and missed the album first time around there is a very large hole in your collection. The following is a play list with my personal star rating out of five: 1. Say It With Love ***** This is a demonstration of the Moodies wall of sound at its best. There is a driving beat from Graeme Edge ...

DEADPAN JIMMY RIDES AGAIN

Advantages: Fast paced and topical joke telling at its best
Disadvantages: DVD Extras could have been better

say this is probably not the sort of DVD you want to be settling down to with your Parents, ....or children, ....or indeed anyone where embarrassment is likely to be an issue - this DVD is over eighteen in every sense of the word. A couple of nice little diversions break up the stand up routine nicely on this DVD; firstly Jimmy relaxes in an armchair and ponders those random thoughts that are troubling him, all the while a jazz trio play melancholy tunes as smoke drifts lazily across the stage. He also takes to sitting behind a desk for a segment where he rewrites classic children's jokes to bring them up to date. There is also a little improv section where Jimmy asks audience members to throw up some words and situations, with mirthful consequences. Satire and dark humour abound then in this ninety minute show. If you like your jokes ...
