So I was reading up on Ray Davies and noticed he supposedly directed something called 'Weird Nightmare.' After some Google searching I found this. Pretty cool stuff. Awesome to see Keith play jazz guitar. Does anyone know anything more about this/provide some background?

Its a various artists tribute to the great Charlie Mingus. Keith & Watts (plus Chuck, Bernard F, and Bobby) play on Atomic Bomb. The whole work is good but the real thing (Mingus) was something else. I do believe that Atomic Bomb is a little masterpiece, though. It has all the spirit and guts of the original, but it also hear the strong Keith and Charlie input.
