Given Stan's comments on some other early work it was probably all to the good that he never found himself being piloted through New York by any of those several cab drivers who on hearing an English accent started to enthuse about the big band of Ted Heath. I do recall Stan having things to say of his time with that Heath (not the Politician!) which suggested he might rather have preferred the breastplate of Jack Emblow, Clifton Chenier, indeed Bengt Hallberg (whose stride piano on "Hallberg's Happiness" I must give another listen after a long time -- some nice cuckoo ragtime too: but I've never heard the late lamented Bengt's squeezeboxing; Jack Emblow with Martin Taylor and Dave O'Higgins I do know and revere). <br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">ciao, Steve!</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Robert<br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div><br></div>
