Donald Fagan and Walter Becker (RIP) wrote some of the most enduring stuff of the last half century, talented and timeless. Both brilliant individually as well.

I just logged on to the 6 Music website to see if I'd missed owt interesting over the weekend, to be greeted by the words Giles Peterson from the Cheltenham Jazz Festival

I concluded that I'd rather be locked in a shipping container with 20 pissed, hyperactive bagpipe players and a couple more people randomly firing machine guns.

I'd imagine they'd both sound pretty similar

It also seems like you will immediately lose your 6 music listenership credentials unless you're prepared to label Kamasi Washington as a god-like musical deity. Though to me it sounds just like the over-indulgent noodling of any other jazz saxophonist

I was in a jazz club in Prague when one of the musicians accidentally turned over two sheets of the music. The results were quite discordant but nobody seemed to mind.

Bagpipes?

how about Sonny Rollins playing Swing low Sweet chariot accompanied by bagpipes.

(one of my favourite jazz tracks, its on the CD ’the cutting edge')
