Shake off those January Blues!

Martin Bennett’s Old Green River Band

Martin Bennett (ldr, piano) • John Finch (tmb) Roscoe Birchmore (bass) • Howard Murray (reeds) Stuart Smith (dms) • Chez Chesterman (cnt)

“The Old Green River Band is one of the most exciting bands I’ve heard in ages.
Their music could be described as ‘New Orleans meets Rhythm & Blues’ I think few bands come closer to the true spirit of New Orleans.”
(Peter Kings, p.e.k. Sound)

“Be sure to get down to The Peartree this coming Monday evening – 8.30 sharp – for the best jazz in town. And bring a friend! HMV might be on the way out, but traditional jazz lives on New Orleans style in Welwyn Garden City!”
Brian Smith a.k.a. “Smiffy”, Peartree Jazz Club Promoter

HELP US KEEP JAZZ LIVE AND ALIVE!

Popular belief is that Jazz has had its day. Not so! There are plenty of great bands on the jazz circuits - playing at Concerts, Clubs, Festivals. People say the musicians and fans are past their sell by dates and don’t attract younger audiences. Again, not so! There is a Jazz Revival! Numerous younger bands with growing numbers of enthusiastic young fans are making their mark.

Jazz&Jazz is dedicated to keeping jazz LIVE AND ALIVE. We value exchanges of views on all things jazz. You can make your comments by using the “Speak Your Mind” option below each post.

But as Jazz&Jazz coverage increases incrementally in quality as well as quantity so do costs - travel, photography, videos, subscriptions, booking and ticket prices.

CONTRIBUTIONS to help cover costs would therefore be greatly appreciated. Jazz&Jazz also features JAZZ ART, sales of which help finance expenses.

“Jazz & Jazz” is an invaluable platform for news about young bands and musicians. It’s a great way for organisers like me to know what is going on! The enthusiasm of Peter Butler is inspirational and infectious and has certainly done much to boost the reputation of Fest Jazz beyond the boundaries of Brittany. Long may the site continue and flourish!”
Trevor Stent, Good Time Jazz

“Dear Peter, You have embarked on a lonely road. There have been few people painting New Orleans musicians over the years. There was one guy named Frank Caunce … in the 1965 - 72 period who was very good but not as organised as you. So keep doing what you are doing.”
Barry Martyn, New Orleans

“Very pleased to be associated with Jazz & Jazz. It promises to be be an influential contribution not just to the UK but to any one anywhere capable of accessing it. My Old Green River Band is delighted to have the opportunity to register its gigs and geographical whereabouts and to see the results this must have for all those associated.”
Martin Bennett, The Old Green River Band

“Fantastic Peter, you've got a talent for capturing people! Perhaps I need to have a shave!!!
Emile Martyn, The Fallen Heroes.
