Thanks for reading this week. Carl Jung, pictured, was hardly that other famed CJ - Reggie Perrin's boss in David Nobbs' 1970s TV sitcom The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin, now, was he? Because classic harrumphs such as I didn't get where I am today by thinking do not cut it at all beyond a mound of blancmange when talk invariably turns to the founder of analytical psychology, Jung.

Our own Swiss CJ, taking a break from the collective unconscious, did, from his handy vantage point of the celestial sphere, inspire the excellent Vitor Pereira quintet release Jung, a track review of which is much and actually most read among all the dear readers in the collective huddle on marlbank this week. It is certainly beyond, yes - AJ - I didn't get where I am today by wittering on about trading fours - Archetypal Jazz
