One of my (deeply, deeply flawed) musical heroes, Art Pepper recorded for Fantasy via Galaxy and Contemporary Records. I became aware of him via an NME cassette freebie, from the early 1980s and bought Art Pepper "Today", on Galaxy in a record shop in Strabane Co. Tyrone when visiting my in laws.

FYI the singer's name is spelt Caoilfhionn with the i before the l. It's an Irish name pronounced "Keelin", which is quite a challenge for us insular Brits.

The last few episodes have been so interesting, the links between the seemingly totally unconnected and I love that the influence of Jazz, so often written out of Rock history, is fully acknowledged. Great stuff. Thanks Andrew.
