Final Call for The 2015 Autumn Jazz Parade at Hemsby, Norfolk, 25th – 28th September

Lakefront-Loungers

Celebrating the Ken Colyer Heritage

 

I always take pleasure in featuring The Autumn Jazz Parade at Hemsby. It was the first festival I went to back in 2008 after a long absence from jazz (the picture above was one of my early photos for Jazz&Jazz). Plus, in 2009 my wife won the Trust’s Star Draw first prize – a brilliant Southern Sounds trip for two to New Orleans in 2010 for the French Quarter Festival. Whilst there I met and have stayed in touch with a number of New Orleans’ greatest musicians.

That got me right back into jazz and I launched Jazz&Jazz in an endeavour to give something back. Plus I launched my Jazz&Jazz YouTube Channel which features bands and musicians from around the world with over 150 subscribers and close on to 100,000 views. Below are YouTubes from last year’s Autumn Parade.

My special thanks also go to Festival Organiser Pete Lay who has been consistent in his support for Jazz&Jazz.
