Editor Jazz&Jazz
Jazz&Jazz is receiving a rapidly expanding local and worldwide following, reinforced by my linked Jazz&Jazz Social Media sites, the Facebook Jazzers Group and especially my Jazz&Jazz YouTube Channel.
As a result I am receiving more and more requests to promote events, functions and features. So much so that demands on my time are deflecting me from my aim of “Celebrating the Joy of Jazz”.
Previously I have simply asked for contributions via the Donate Button in the column to the right to help cover costs of fulfilling requests to feature events. But with minimal joy to date. So as of now I will need contributions to help cover costs of requested promotions and PR features.

Come and join Allison Neale (sax), Jackie Winter (vocals), Alan Haughton (piano & vocals),
Chris Green (bass) and Ronnie Fenn (drums) at Olney Jazz Club,
8.00pm 4th June for “Jazz on a Summer’s Evening”!
Karen Sharp [tenor/baritone sax], Mark Ridout [guitar], Arnie Somogyi [bass],
Ronnie Fenn [drums]
Award winning Karen Sharp, has performed regularly with Humphrey Lyttelton, Alan Barnes,
John Dankworth, Ken Pepklowski, Scott Hamilton and played at the BBC Proms in 2017.
Karen’s lyrical, warm and inventive tone make her one of our top jazz stars.
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.
