Intense, ferocious and deeply unsettling, I.D. is an excellent examination of Britain's unsavoury contribution to global culture: football hooliganism. Whereas Alan Clarke's The Firm showed the violence that lurked behind a seemingly normal façade, I.D. posits football hooliganism as a feral temptation. Dedicated, ambitious undercover policeman John (Reece Dinsdale) becomes seduced by the violence of an East London gang, ultimately becoming lost from his regular life with his wife (Clare Skinner). Dinsdale delivers a measured performance that sees him spiral from committed, right-minded policeman to shaven-headed, Nazi-saluting monster, revelling in the violent impulses he embraces with glee and, alarmingly, becoming a hero amongst those he is infiltrating. Warren Clarke is absolutely monstrous as the leader of the hooligan gang, a paragon of bigoted hatred and the embodiment of John's future. Often unnervingly realistic, director Phil Davis is adept at creating riotous mob scenes that chillingly accentuate the world into which John is drawn. It could be said that I.D.'s premise is too thin, and that hooliganism is not addressed in an effective manner, but it is without doubt a chilling character study of the temptation of violence and the horrific influences that lurk in the heart of society. --Danny Graydon

Best-known for his stint with Charlie Parker's classic 1947 quintet superb bop pianist Duke Jordan (1922) worked with Sonny Stitt Gene Ammons and Stan Getz during the Fifties and made quite an impression by writing part of the soundtrack for the French movie Les Liaisons Dangereuses. After a period of obscurity this great pianist made a comeback in the Seventies recording and appearing with jazz legends such as Charlie Rouse Niels Pedersen or Dannie Richmond.Trumpeter-fluegelhornist Clark Terry (St Louis 1920) has always been renowned for his joyful swinging approach to music. A top-notch soloist with an unmistakable sound on his instrument a very personal vocalist and irrepressible humorist and an enthusiastic jazz educator Terry has been around since the Forties (when he was an inspiration for Miles Davis).Recorded in 1985 at Copenhagen's Montmartre Jazzhus as a tribute to the late great Ben Webster - a personal friend of trumpeter Terry - this excellent concert showcases pianist Jordan's first-class playing along with Clark Terry's humorous onstage presence. Resorting to a repertoire mostly consisting of Ellington standards Jordan Terry and their sidemen display a high spririted swinging set. A true delight for all jazz fans.Tracklisting: Dances A Ball / Lush Life / Solitude / Gone With the Wind / Jordu / In a Mellotone / Mood Indigo / Just Squeeze Me / God Bless The Child / Satin Doll / Lady Be Good
