About me: North London born and in-bred. Half Italian, half cockney, jazz music maniac, also partial to a bit of so called over-produced blue-eyed soul, Arsenal football club, pasta, Fawlty Towers, Bill Hicks, Almodovar, Cary Grant, Python. Very bad on the piano, better at djing.
..
Who I'd like to meet: Thelonious Monk, Bill Hicks, Donald Fagen, Coltrane, Peter Sellers, Cary Grant & Eva Marie-Saint (preferably on a train)..unfortunately all these people are dead, I think..except for Fagen (not the one in Oliver Twist, the one from Steely Dan) but he's such a miserable old git I doubt he'd ever agree to meeting me...
radu told me you..ve been to bratislava again... was there, too, playing at a really big 2500 peepz festival, playing there with re:jazz (as an opener for mr. al jarreau...) :)
