Celebrating the Joy of Jazz
You must be logged in to post a comment.
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 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.

The best cornet/trumpet in New Orleans. Unparalleled understanding of classic jazz. Pure tone. Great ensemble playing in the band she leads. A brilliant unpretentious jazz light.
The most gifted player I have heard in years. I would go to New Orleans just to hear Shaye and the brilliant Tuba Skinny combo. Their playing is a music lesson, pure joy.. Special thanks also to Greg Sherman for a great vocal and phrasing, just love his singing…. Plus a huge thanks to all in the Band. Hope one day they will play in London, England.
Skinny. Simply love this combo. Especially vocals of Greg Sherman
One day perhaps! Despite strongest efforts so far no joy!
I’m Trumpet player and Bandleader of Dixie Swingers Jazz Band from Lindóia, SP-Brazil. I have seen vídeos of Shaye on Jazz&Jazz. Amazing, authentic Jazz of 20s; Shaye shows leadership, but she smiles for the public.
Wonderful music!! Love how they do not compete but produce wonderful Dixie Jazz every place they play. listen on YOU TUBE…..WHERE ARE THEY PLAYING AND HOW IS THE BAND IN 2019
