High praise for Doolally Tap from a fellow musician at this year’s
Ramsgate Seaside Shuffle Festival. My thanks to the
Shuffle’s Events Committee and the bands for
permitting me to film for Jazz&Jazz YouTubes.
Dom & The Ikos at the Phoenix Artists Club.

Gypsy jazz comes to Loughton!
Gypsy jazz group Trio Manouche, with Quentin Collins on trumpet, play a
fund-raising concert for the National Jazz Archive on Saturday 24 June in Loughton, Essex.
On 4th June Jazz&Jazz featured:
The Big Debate: Is Jazz Facing “Doom & Gloom”? but concluded
“All Is Far From Lost!”
To measure reaction I posted two follow up features on my Jazz&Jazz Facebook Page in two posts entitled: “Picking Up The Pieces” Parts 1 & 2. For those who prefer not to access Facebook, these are featured below.
Latest in my promo campaign featuring young jazz bands and musicians comes Ben Holder and his Quartet. Ben is a young giant of jazz in more ways than one.
Bringing back memories!
