Jools rules

I thought I should leave just a quick note, without my patent Sound Advice Reviewer's Hat on, to say congratulations to a small pianist.

Last night I caught a glimpse of the Neil Cowley Trio on Later... With Jools Holland, and I was thoroughly excited by the angular jazz wot I saw.

Now I must wait for a copy of their latest album, Loud Louder Stop, to wing its way to me in the post to hear more, but I anticipate great things.

In the past vertically-challenged music savant Jools has introduced me to some bloody brilliant stuff that I may never have heard otherwise - Acoustic Ladyland, Son Of Dave, Beirut, Ida Maria, Seasick Steve, the list goes on and on.

Although the chances of the great man himself actually reading this are slim, may I just take this opportunity to say "ta".

Ta.
