The performance is very good, while the tune/melody is not as interesting as This Island Earth. Nonetheless. these are skilled musicians who make the most of what they have to work with.

There are a few shots where the you get to see the music makers' faces, but in general it appears the camera operator was told to keep face time to a minimum. Even BF gets only a few profiles...

Thanks for posting this.
The interpretation is completely haunting.

the 'Colin Good Jazz Orchestra'!

how can this be classed as a Bryan Ferry album??

you're very welcome Windswept2. Haunting indeed! Who would have thunk an album like this would ever come to be? Rod Stewart's thinking...

I love what I've heard, even though I think you are right (in a way :) ).
I like Colin on atgb, where he was crucial. I've been down on him on other outings though, especially the emasculation of the alphaville original sessions into frantic. But his role on the jazz age is pivotal and wonderful.

From the bits I have heard, it all sounds the same to me. :o

it's not a bryan ferry album per se... it is credited, quite clearly, as 'the bryan ferry orchestra'...
