Re: LIT 4

David Axelrod is on Wikipedia so you can read some unreliable
information about him there. He provides the music for LIT4, culled
from his 1969 jazz classic Songs of Experience. Gerard overlays
Blake's words in his lovely way thereby bringing the whole thing full
circle in time for Blake's 250th birthday. Almost.
David Axelrod's music sounds like the half-decent backing to a rather
good episode of Starsky and Hutch. He may not like this comparison.
But there you are: I have made it.
His 'official website' says that Serious jazz lovers will recognize
his name. Axelrod freely uses drums, horns, strings, string bass as
well as woodwinds along with key board, in his compositions. Poetry
has been an influence on his compositions. He is considered a
visionary and the father of fusion.
There is no mention there of Gerard or of the Blue Aeroplanes.
LIT4 carries the old EMI Harvest logo, but I suspect this is as dodgy
as dodgy can be. (But I am nearly always wrong.)
William Blake - I am thinking of our oversees readers here - was born
just east of Carnaby Street and used to go scrumping for apples in
Soho and up Tottenham Court Road. His birthplace is now occupied by
a huge multi-storey building (or, for our American readers, a really
small thing). For Blake, the word 'chartered' rang with meaning.
Blake is famous for having played the electric guitar for King George
III at a fireworks party and then eloping with the bass player.

Folks,
So, any feedback on LIT 4 yet? I bought one directly from Sam ...
does everyone like it?
Also, is anyone but me and Steve Burt on Facebook? There's a Blue
Aeroplanes group, but I always like new friends!
