And yes Elms is quoted extensively.

Re: Anglo Ivy in retrospect
In the mod section a bit of jazz is hard and zero R&B. That really is pathetic. But it got reasonable reviews at the time so I suppose they achieved their objective. If the objective had been to make a documentary about the original mod scene that actually captures relevant, accurate information and images then they definitely didn't achieve it. A shame. Maybe one day.

Re: Anglo Ivy in retrospect
Back to Mr. Simons. 'Modernism', he is reputed to have said somewhere, 'is my obsession'. It certainly isn't mine, not that it matters. I acknowledge it but that's about all. In fact, the last time I heard jazz at Chiltern Street I'm pretty sure it was Duke Ellington not Shepp or even Charlie Parker. I collect modernist glass and own certain articles of furniture, some textiles and artefacts. But my focus is more on certain aspects of Victoriana (not influenced by John Betjeman, who I find irritating). All this is in direct contrast to a fascination with NYC, the American East Coast etc.

Re: Anglo Ivy in retrospect
I can't even remember what modernism means. I think Bird sounded best when he guested with The Machito Orchestra. Bebop soloing mixed with Cuban son rhythms mixed with NY big band jazz. Whether anyone in the band wore soft collar shirts or sack suits is unknown but very doubtful.
