September 9, 2019 By Peter Butler

Launched in Germany earlier this year, “The Jungle Jazz Band”,
a veritable newcomer on European jazz circuits,
is quickly making its mark.

The Jungle Jazz Band

“In the Jungle” are Laurent Humeau (Trumpet), Eldar Tsalikov (Reeds, Vocal), Carlos Santana (Trombone, Vocal), François Perdriau (Drums, Cymbals, Cow Bell, Wood Block),
Quentin Bardi (Banjo) and Jack Butler (Soussa).
Jack has played with Frog and Henry.

Quickly established on the Berlin jazz scene, The Jungle are now reaching out across Europe, including the festival network. Most recently came a ten week tour of Holland taking in 40 variety shows during which they recorded five tracks with senior sound engineer, Thijs Peters.

“The Animule Dance”, their first release, was produced in two sessions at the Nadanadi Studio, Berlin – in august 2018 and February 2019.

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.
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. 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.
