Ok its an Lp track that was released by Expansion (I think - havent my copy to hand) as a 45 and a damm fine tune it is too and an old Searling spin I think (old age catching up on me here!) Jimmy was Miles Davis drummer and the voice you hear is that of Gregory Hines (Mr Tap, film actor, his dad was the drummer Chic Hines) and this toon was an ender at many a night I attended in the late 90's. The female vocal is Marilyn Redfield and the project was put together to accomany a video that also involved the great Bill Cosby. Quality TOON that i still spin on occassion when I escape the kids and Scouting etc etc :thumbsup: £5-10 for the 45 is about right

Seem to remember it being a regular ender for Bob Hinsley at the Ritz nighters, late 90's onwards, then again he could have just finished with it the once and it's just stuck :thumbsup:

:yes: No I remember Bob being one of the few DJs spanking the heck out of it at the time and more than once! Also a big fave at the Jazz clubs I popped into down our way at the same time - records of quality will always stick in your mind - who can ever forget Joe 90 theme! (Oh hang on :( )

Thought so, we used to often finish with it just down the road at the lesser known nights at Bolton Anglers around the same time, great tune, and I do tend to associate it with Bob, :thumbsup:

Yes, originally on this LP;

JIMMY COBB

"SO NOBODY ELSE CAN HEAR" (1983 CONTEMPO VIBRATO)

(Prod. Pee Wee Ellis)

Best tracks - "So nobody else can hear"/"Pistachio"

PS. Miles Davis "Kind of blue" is not only the best selling jazz LP of all time, it's probably the greatest too, taking a genre of music into a brand new direction. A bit like James Brown's "Papa's got a brand new bag".

I don't know why I bother with this forum at times. What with this and the rubbish aimed at Paul Mooney elsewhere, is it worth it?

Ok whats the problem with stating that you were in fact correct and that it is the best jazz album etc etc?? I'm not sure if you thought I was being funny with you mate ( I wasn't) I was merely pointing out that you mentioned something that I hadn't and further educated people! I really cant see why you would post a quote like this?????

It was a massive tune in the nightclubs that played jazz funk etc up here in Middlesbrough around 1983-4 and was played by Mike Charlton. Always puzzled me to as why an out and out mid tempo 8ts jazz number got acceptance on the Northern scene .

I have the original lp and the expansion re-issue CD . The 45 does not have the Bill Cosby introduction though
