This piece was chosen to commemorate Martin's love of jazz; Nicky specially wanted 'Just in Time' to play because Gummo was their bassist for three years and Martin always managed to catch them; his last outing was to their Cheltenham Jazz Festival appearance in May. Roland recalled hearing Dead Man Blues on a record in 1969, when devising music for a multi-media War Play presentation. The picture shows some of the Farmor's band practising the slow march at a morning rehearsal. |
