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!”

“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!!!

What a surprise that was when Joan’s great big jazz band struck up the music at Fest Jazz. Those young musicians were absolutely brilliant and my goodness what enthusiasm. It was really infectious. Although Joan’s English wasn’t great, he put across to you and me how his enthusiasm inspired those kids to the heights they were achieving. I play the DVD and CD which he kindly gave us, often, and still enjoy them so much. 19 I believe is the limiting age the kids can stay in the band, and it is good to see Andrea Motis and Eva Fernandes have progressed on to successful solo careers. My wife and I were fortunate to get an invitation to go up side stage and see the organisation that went into the circulation of these young musicians so that everyone in a large team got playing time. Amazing ! I hope to get another chance to see Joan’s band in the near future. Norm888
Hi Norman, I have been fortunate to film several Sant Andreu numbers and will be featuring more of them over the coming days as an “antidote” to the Covid19 shut down.
