Cool Side of the Moon, a jazz interpretation of Pink Floyd's classic 1973 album performed by Peter Dale, featuring Kate Robbins (who directed Guy Pratt's live show), and supported by the Emma Robbins Jazz Quartet, takes place at two jazz venues in London later this month. You can catch the show on Friday, November 20th at Jazz After Dark, in Greek Street, and on Sunday, November 22nd, at the Regal Rooms above the Distillers Arms, Fulham Palace Road, in Hammersmith. Something a bit different... both shows start at 7:30pm.

UPDATE, Nov 15th: AUCTIONS CLOSED THIS EVENING; the signed Pudseys raised £71 and £77 each, and the signed bandana raised £27.05 for the charity.
Further to our previous story about Nick Mason's participation in one of the fund-raising efforts of this year's BBC Children In Need charity campaign, the album (Bandaged Together) and single get their release today (November 9th). Full details of the album can be found here. You can order the album from www.CharityGoods.com, and it should also be available in all the main Tesco stores from today.
Nick was amongst the stars who assembled at London's legendary Abbey Road Studios on September 7th to help record a special version of the Beatles classic, All You Need Is Love. The video can be viewed in full here.
Whilst in the recording sessions, Nick signed some things for the organisers, and you can now bid on a Pudsey bear with a Nick Mason signed tag (there are two of these), or a Children In Need bandana, again with Nick's autograph. 100% of the selling price from the sale of these items, which are now on eBay, goes to the BBC Children in Need Appeal. The auctions finish on November 15th, around 9:30pm GMT.
To bid on the first of the two Pudsey bears, CLICK HERE; to bid on the second of the two Pudsey bears, CLICK HERE; to bid on the bandana, CLICK HERE. The organisers have a wide range of items from the sessions, signed by various top stars, and you can see them HERE.

The well-respected, UK published Classic Rock Magazine is celebrating the 30th anniversary of Pink Floyd's 1979 album, The Wall with the UK's first ever high definition 3D lenticular magazine cover - and with thanks to the publishers, you can get your first look at the cover here at Brain Damage - click the thumbnail to the left to see the main design in more detail.
The cover of the December 2009 issue of Classic Rock is an exclusively created Pink Floyd montage created in dazzling 3D – featuring much of the band's iconic imagery, including the hammers, prism and flying pig. Created with sophisticated new origination software and enhanced design techniques the cover was a three-way collaboration between Classic Rock's Art Editor, Brad Merrett, Future Publishing's pre-press team and Hive Associates 3D Studio.
And having seen the depth and movement on the cover, we think it's quite a beauty - we can already think of a few people who might be tempted to frame it!

A lot of focus has been made on the 30th anniversary of Pink Floyd's The Wall. However, another of their releases is celebrating this year - Ummagumma marks its' 40th anniversary, and to commemorate this, a set of three special items has been created and is available on the US and European official Pink Floyd online stores.
You can order each item individually, or plump for a specially-priced bundle comprising the whole set [click thumbnail to the right]. On offer is a very nice, sepia-toned image of the cover on a t-shirt; a 4"x4" Ummagumma sticker; and a limited edition, five-colour embossed lithograph designed by Storm Thorgerson. Set on heavy weight fine arts paper, each lithograph is on 24" square paper, with the image being 19" square, and will be signed by Storm, which makes this a very good deal indeed at the price they are asking. And, in clarification, ALL the lithos are signed, whether or not they are in the great value bundle.
The stickers and t-shirts will ship from November 14th, and the lithographs will ship in December 2009. Place your orders now at the Official Pink Floyd Webstore.

"Listening to the best of their output from before, during and after my own involvement with the band," says David Gilmour, "has reminded me of the many great songs and great moments in the studio that we shared all those years ago. It's been a long time coming, but it has been worth the wait."
David's comments about his work with UK country rock band Unicorn will whet the appetites of those who will be snapping up the first time CD releases of two rare albums from the band, both of which were produced by David. 'Blue Pine Trees' and 'Too Many Crooks' will be released by premier reissue label Renaissance Records in conjunction with ItsAboutMusic.com on November 11th. The original master tapes were remastered by Andy Jackson at David's Astoria houseboat studio, and the results are apparently stunning.
As the following attests, the coming together of Unicorn (possibly the godfathers of the country rock genre) and David Gilmour is an interesting story...
