I was at university with Ron Rubin's valve trombonist and vibist brother, John Rubin. Never met Ron, though. I believe Ron played for Ronnie Scott and for Robert Graves in Majorca.

Interesting. I recall the Scott bio mentioning that Majorca stint in the 60s with Graves.

Re other poets/literary types who dug jazz, Philip Larkin and Kingsley Amis come to mind. Both were pretty mouldy figs, though Larkin was known to cut a caper to (New Testament) Basie. Amis, though, condemned himself (IIRC in his novel Take a Girl Like You) by including in his cricket team of 11 Villains none other than John Coltrane. Amis was clearly happier with Condon (Eddie, not Les).

Never knew about that album. How is it? 

Now playing: vinyl-only release on the label of Jonas Kullhammar (who some might remember as a BNBB member) featuring himself, drummer Håkon Mjåset Johansen, basist Ingebrigt Håker Flaten and Chick Corea on piano.

It does, doesn't it. I'm always surprised how there's so much to hear each time I dig his music out. Never disappoints

Starting with some

 

Then some:

And last but not least:

That is some very ugly cover art! But the music is great nevertheless.

Chico's music always has such texture because it starts with him, his drumming, the way he tunes his kit and his stick/mallet technique on both his drums and his cymbals (his cymbals are always particularly exquisite). He was one of the most sound conscious drummers ever, imo.

He lays such a bed of sound down himself, that everything else on top of it has no choice but to sound rich.
