Newly Released Jazz&Jazz YouTube: The 100 Club Pays Tribute to George Buck

January 4, 2017 By Peter Butler Leave a Comment

Back on 11th December 2013 George Buck passed away and I payed tribute to him and his achievements on Jazz&Jazz.

It was on the following day, 12th December, at The 100 Club’s very last Thursday Midday Jazz Session, that The Fallen Heroes, plus immediately recognisable guest stars, played this special tribute to George, appropriately introduced by Mike Pointon and Emile Martyn.

I filmed in the midst of the packed exuberant fans, ducking and diving and jostling my lens. It was Jazz at The 100 Club just as it was in its heyday – except for the age of the fans! And yet there were a good many younger fans in the audience.

So in keeping with my New Year promise to revisit selections from the Jazz YouTubes which I have filmed over the past five years, here, among a motley of jazz stars, including Mike Pointon and Emile Martyn, is the 100 Club’s Tribute to George Buck.
First time featured on Jazz&Jazz.

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!”

“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
