Ginny and I were privileged to be invited to the inaugural Jazzeco Festival in the grounds of picturesque Harlington Manor, Bedfordshire, on Saturday, 7th July.
“Britain’s first fully vegan eco-friendly jazz festival, Jazzeco featured a distinguished lineup of top jazzers against the stunning backdrop of 14th century Harlington Manor, a grade II listed building. Fabulous vegan food, beer and wine stalls, and quirky craft offerings combined to create a memorable first for the national jazz scene!”
The sun shone and the fans amassed to enjoy the jazz and the plentiful Vegan food and refreshments – or simply to wander around the stalls with their resplendent displays. And I filmed for posterity! [Read more…]

The Sun Shone the Day The Jurbena Jazz Band Visited the Walnut Tree

Walnut Tree Jazz Club fans welcomed The Netherlands based Jurbena Jazz Band
to Blisworth on Sunday, 22nd April.
Jurbena focuses on the “Frisco” style from San Francisco.
It was quite a fight contesting with the rays of the sun but I captured several numbers for YouTubes.
Here are two for starters – beginning with the final number for the introduction of the band. Enjoy!

Three Ways “SWAY” …

“When Marimba Rhythms start to play
Dance with me, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more.”
