For me, I keep my separate Jazz section for trad, and anything else, say Sun Ra, John McLaughlin etc. goes in with everything else.

Well I only have the one record by him, but I know he wrote a lot of music for films.

Yes, the strict filing of music by genre can sometimes prove to be difficult. John Martyn is one such example. His first few albums were obviously acoustic and electric folk. Then when he teamed up with Danny Thompson his work moved towards Jazz (especially when Martyn would deliberately 'slur' the lyrics; turning his voice into an instrument). After that, with his later albums, he became much more pop (a period of his that I never liked).

Another good one, though maybe not his best.

Well I quite liked the live Nina Simone CD I played the other day (ashamed to say it had languished on my shelf unplayed since buying it), so I was on the lookout for more at this morning's car boot. And came across this:

I really wanted to hear her version of "Wild is the Wind" (included here), and I have to say I prefer it to Bowie's version. Shame about all the sibilance on her voice though. Oh well you can't have everything.

Also at the car boot I picked up a CD copy of Lou Reed's Transformer, as I wasn't sure if I already had it. Turns out I have :doh: So if anyone out there wants a free copy of this, look no further :) I don't have enough shelf space to be hanging on to duplicates.

Yes Grant, it is a compilation. I can't find any info about it. Looking at Wikipedia's discography, it doesn't appear.
