coolio....thanks for the heads up...

there was an hour long docu about the making of freak out about 3 weeks ago.....I think it was on sky arts but I forgot to mention it. It would have been academic if I had cos I don't think it's available on any 'watch later' platforms.

I had steered clear of the sky arts channel on freeview simply because to me it smacks of Murdoch....but there is stuff on there at the mo that's irresistabubble.

That was very good indeed. Fiiled in a few gaps in my knowledge.
The clip of where Vinnie Colaiuta was playing, was rather impressive. Which LP would that correspond to ?

Hi Pink, The clip you might be referring to sounds like Rubber Shirt (a bit), from Sheik Yerbouti or some variation of the Black Page which is on many FZ recordings.

Anyway, the film footage is FZ conducting Vinnie & Arthur Barrow during a rehearsal before concert. My guess is that exact recording is not on any release unless FZ did record the whole piece for his ref. and stuck it in the vault.
