Filling the Void!

Jazz&Jazz confronts the Coronavirus Plague!

As fortune would have it, over the past few weeks at uncomfortable expense I have invested in ground breaking new equipment and software to upgrade my Jazz&Jazz features, YouTubes and promotions.

But to what avail, I asked myself, come the Coronavirus shut down. How long will it be before I can film live jazz again and even recoup my outlay?

But wait! Over the past five years I have filmed over 400 YouTubes featuring live jazz at a variety of events, with 880,700 plus views to date. I have already featured selections of these on Jazz&Jazz.

So I have decided to help fill the void for my Jazz&Jazz followers with a series of features rerunning selections of these YouTubes. Two of my latest posts have already set the ball rolling:
Long Live London’s Legendary 100 Club
Such Memories! Covent Garden’s Marching Band Days

Going back to the beginning, today’s offering features my very first attempt at a
Jazz&Jazz YouTube:
October, 2013: To the fans delight, The Peartree Jazz Club, Welwyn Garden City, welcomed New Orleans Heat to their first visit.

More Jazz&Jazz YouTubes to follow, hopefully to help preserve sanity!

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.
