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…]

I’ve discovered one benefit of Social Media. Recently I’ve begun posting my portraits of jazz musicians painted a while again my Facebook Page and Facebook Jazzers Group.
Here are the two most recently featured:
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!

“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.”
As Jazz&Jazz continues to grow I am reluctant to spend ever more hours reviewing and promoting events that Social Media already enables clubs, bands and musicians to promote for themselves. For instance, many already use my Facebook Jazzers Group for this purpose. In the UK there is also the monthly Just Jazz Magazine, The Jazz Guide and the Jazz Guide Website, not to mention other websites that carry comprehensive
lists of events.
