Encountering Jazz Lamentations!
August 14, 2017 By 1 Comment
Ever since I launched Jazz&Jazz back in 2009/10, and much more so recently, the current status and popularity of jazz, particularly in the UK, has been the subject of continual scrutiny and debate – especially among older fans and sometimes even older musicians – with lamentations such as those below, posted (14th August) on Facebook!

Early Days in Jazz
It was in the late 1950s/early 1960s, that I first took an interest in Jazz. Well I would, wouldn’t I – it was the popular music of the era. I remember especially one late night party thrown by in one of the grand old Georgian Terrace house on Herne Bay sea front. Two jazz hits played over and over again that night still haunt me – Miles Davis’s “Lift To The Scaffold” and Lonnie Donegan’s “Seven Golden Daffodils”.
