Rockin' In Rhythm - Duke Ellington

Duke Ellington - The Essential

Advantages: The fundamentals - Classic Big Band Style Jazz
Disadvantages: Sound quality was poor

Duke Ellington composed many interesting traditional jazz music suited at that time for big band style. Amongst the popular music he wrote were Mood Indigo, It Don't Mean A Thing, Caravan, Chelsea Bridge and many more. His compositions in my opinion were very radical compared to those of the traditional era which cause some people to dislike it. It applies more tension chords as ever, bringing in modern jazz concepts and adapting them in a traditional context. He is however one of the legends in the field of jazz and although many do not know him, they have heard of him. Many of his songs are taken today and played in small group bands, trios and quartets and improvised to meet modern expectations. I personally enjoyed the tracks because I am a jazz fanatic. What I didn't enjoy was the poor recording quality which is probably ...

Review of Duke Ellington

Escada Rockin' Rio!

Advantages: Pretty smell, different from the rest!
Disadvantages: Not as strong as the rest so doesn't stay for as long!

Escada Rockin? Rio I got this perfume in a Collector?s Edition pack of 5 Escada Perfumes; Island kiss, Rockin? Rio, Pacific Paradise, Sunset Heat and Ibiza Hippie. I first heard of Escada when I bought Pacific Paradise on the Ferry on the way to Italy, from then on the smell always reminded me of that holiday, and became one of my favourite perfumes. So when I saw this pack for £12.50 for 5 small bottles (4ml each), I just had to buy them to try them all, so I could choose my favourite one! And I must say they were all delicious! With such strong fruity smells which stuck around all day, my only problem was there wasn?t enough of it in the bottles, and I tended to use half a bottle each time I used it! But it gave me a great experience of using them all so I could choose which ones I wanted in larger bottles rather than ...

Review of Escada Rockin' Rio Eau De Toilette Spray

Dine like a Duke

Advantages: Cracking food and a good price - for a pub!
Disadvantages: A bit small for buggies, awkward downstairs toilet access.

stairs and although I can't speak for the gents I imagine they'd be the same as the ladies so please, watch your head as the ceiling is so low in the toilet cubicles that if you happen to be 5ft 6" (like me) and get up too fast, you could end up concussing yourself on the arched ceiling. Having said that, the two cubicles themselves are always spotlessly clean, the basin has L'Occitaine handwash and hand cream and they also have one of those rather zippy Dyson Blade hand dryers plus a fair sized mirror for general hair and facial faffage. ~Recommended?~ If you are in the neighbourhood then yes, although there are lots of eateries in SJW if you can get into The Duke then I'd say go there. Its food that feeds you and not just food that fills you up. www.thedukeofyork.com 2 St Anne's Terrace St Johns Wood NW8 6PJ T) 0207 722 ...
