Jazz&Jazz YouTubes Part 6 Is Especially Dedicated To Ivan Halloran

October 7, 2017 By Peter Butler Leave a Comment

Yesterday, my longstanding jazz friend Ivan Hallaron encouraged me with this message
from New South Wales, Australia: “I follow you closely Peter, and would be lost
without our contact.”

Ivan in his broadcasting days on Valley FM, New South Wales.

I first featured Ivan on Jazz&Jazz back in November, 2012, when his was still presenting his three hour jazz feature, “Mostly Jazz”, every Friday, along with his four hour show, “Nostalgia”,
on Valley Radio in Parkes, NSW.

Ivan, I see that the brilliant young jazz musician, Adrian Cox, is one of our many mutual friends, so I’m dedicating my “Jazz&Jazz YouTubes Part 6”, featuring Adrian with his Quartet in The Crypt, St Martins in the Field, London, to you. I spoke to Adrian a month ago when he starred with his group “Profoundly Blue” at The Bedford Jazz Festival, just before he set off with his band on a tour in
South America. I’ll be sure to share this feature with him.

And especially for your enjoyment, Ivan, sent with my very best wishes, the earlier posts in the Featuring Jazz&Jazz YouTubes Series:

Part 1: “Davenport Blues” with Alan Gresty and Tony Pitt.
Part 2: Denise Gordon and Roy Williams “Sugar”!
Part 3: Barry Palser Presents “That Dada Strain”
Part 4: Tuba Skinny “New Orleans Bump”
Part 5: Taimane Gardner Captivates Fest Jazz Fans!

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.

RECENT ACCOLADES

“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.

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.
