As history is rewritten, most of the music of the 'seventies towards the century's end tends to get marginalised. For many, the sign that the Melody Maker had lost the place was that it had not made the death of the King of Kool, MilesDavis, front-page. Elsewhere, music from the heart continued to flourish in all its colours. Jim Mullen's Blues Bag is mainstream jazz, but very much of its time. Technology, hard bop and the rock cross-over have extended the range of possibilities.
