Frog & Henry Enthral Walnut Tree Jazz Club Fans
February 13, 2019 By 2 Comments
Midway through their exhilarating February UK tour Frog & Henry were resoundingly applauded by enthralled fans at The Walnut Tree Jazz Club, Blisworth, on
Sunday 10th February.
I met and filmed the band at Fest Jazz 2018 and at Blisworth I was able to film them for several more Jazz&Jazz YouTubes featuring their gripping performance which I feature below.
Their UK tour continues until Saturday, March 2nd. Visit Tour Dates 2019 for dates and venues.
Meantime, in no particular order, here is a selection of the Jazz&Jazz
Frog & Henry YouTubes filmed at The Walnut Tree.

“The Dave Bartholomew Century” (Just Jazz Magazine)
January 25, 2019 By Leave a Comment
The February issue of Just Jazz Magazine arrived this morning and a cover photo captioned “Dave Bartholomew 100 up!” immediately caught my attention.
So I quickly turned to the article on page 18 – “‘I did every god damned thing myself’
The Dave Bartholomew Century” by John Swenson.
Flashback to April 2010 in New Orleans when timely good fortune led me to The Palm Court Jazz Café on Decatur Street to enjoy a wonderful performance by the great man. If only I had been filming for my Jazz&Jazz YouTubes back then. And yet, perhaps better, I painted his portrait.

TJ Johnson recently posted on Facebook very openly and honestly about
his problems with alcohol.
This brought back memories of another very close jazz friend, Freddie Clayton.
Social Media & Suicides!

Thought for today: Social Media can be an extremely frustrating and even damaging trap. Time spent sharing posts and events on Facebook alone can detract us from, for instance, creating features on our own websites – in my case jazzandjazz.com.
