We are pleased to share in the promotion of Tad Newton’s annual Christmas Jazz Party at The Walnut, Blisworth, Northants.

So if you are close enough to Blisworth on Sunday, 22nd December, don’t be an armchair fan, get along to Tad’s grand Xmas session of live jazz. Get into the party mood at The Walnut.

FEST JAZZ 2020 (24 – 26 July)
“The programme for Fest Jazz 2020 is taking shape and once again the accent is on young and varied groups from all over Europe. Once again too, I become one of the most hated people in European jazz as we are forced to reject thousands (literally) of fine bands. We just do not have the finances and the place for everyone who applies. And we are very sorry!
“If you haven’t yet been to Fest Jazz do have a serious think about a visit this year. It is a different type of jazz festival with young organisers, young spectators and a fabulous setting on the banks of the River Aulne.
“The Early Bird tickets go on sale online from 1st December and
Brittany Ferries have again arranged a special package for travelling
to the festival.”
Trevor Stent
Over a number of years I have filmed for Jazz&Jazz YouTubes at a variety of venues including clubs, festivals, theatres and special occasions. None are rehearsed studio productions. All capture the spontaneity of the events and performances.

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.
