Adrian, Gethin, Joe and Simon top the bill this month (January, 2016) in the
Jazz&Jazz Campaign to feature great young jazz bands and musicians.
“Alvin Roy has appeared on BBC TV and ITV and reached the Top 20 with ‘True Blue Alvin Roy’. Now based in Oxford, he has led “Reeds Unlimited” since the days of the Trad Boom in the early sixties.”
The February edition of Just Jazz Traditional Jazz magazine arrived at
No 153 early this morning. I was stunned by the front cover!
PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THIS!
The plight of our homeless is currently a hot topic amongst jazz musicians and jazz fans on Facebook and the Facebook Jazzers Group.
Beaucrees Band Leader Tony Tutton, a personal friend, has just announced the release of their song “Give Them A Break”, aimed at increasing awareness of this national travesty. The record has a simple message – Stop The Homelessness!
In all the years since I launched Jazz&Jazz I have rarely been taken aback quite as much as by the BBC news announcement this evening reporting the death of South African jazz musician Hugh Masekela.
In these years I have been hugely privileged to cross paths with an amazing number of jazz greats, many reported in features on this site. Hugh Masekela was paramount amongst them. The occasion – a concert at the Royal Festival Hall during the 2010 London Jazz Festival.

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 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. My Old Green River Band is delighted to have the opportunity to register its gigs and geographical whereabouts and to see the results this must have for all those associated.”
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.
