Fest Jazz is a young at heart festival that has been making waves in the jazz world for some years now!

Set on the banks of the River Aulne at Châteauneuf-du-Faou, one of the prettiest corners of Brittany, it attracts artists and fans from around the world. The atmosphere is relaxed and convivial with a great mixture of nationalities and generations. And there are swing dancers everywhere!

It is a young at heart festival with a young management team, young artists, a wonderful mix of nationalities and generations as well as a programme which presents jazz at its dynamic best.

No pretensions, no elitism, no rows of bejewelled bourgeoisie clapping politely as another “past their best diva” goes through the motions on stage! Fest Jazz is a festival where young and old, French, English and a host of other nationalities come together for a weekend long party.

As at every Fest Jazz there is a mix of music styles and plenty of young, exciting traditional style bands. Even more so this year and here’s how!

Gems from the Archive: Terry Cryer This month we feature one of the foremost British jazz photographers, Terry Cryer, who sadly passed away in January. Terry’s images graced many concert programmes and jazz magazines during the 1950s, particularly Jazz News. His photo of Ella (above) appeared on the front cover in March 1961. Described by MOJO as ‘the dean of UK jazz and blues photographers’ the National Jazz Archive is proud to hold 157 of Terry’s images, which can be accessed HERE: From Muddy Waters to Eddie Condon to Ottilie Patterson to Kid Ory (above) to Joe Harriott, Terry captured them all during the 1950s and 60s. Apart from his wonderful images from the jazz world, Terry also captured many movie stars, performers from popular culture and the world of politics. An obituary by his friend and fellow photographer Val Wilmer can be read HERE: Terry’s memoirs ‘One in the Eye’ were published in 1992, and it is hoped that they will be re-published in the UK and USA by Pen & Ink. Terry was interviewed in September 2014 for BBC Radio 3’s ‘In Tune’ when he talked about his life’s work. Adventures of a hometown tourist Leigh Stanford has worked close to the Archive in Loughton for 12 years, but was ‘ashamed to say’ that she hadn’t visited the Archive – until January. She was particularly impressed by our collection of Soho Jazz Festival posters and has blogged about her visit HERE. Websites you may have missed: The Hogan Archive A wonderful introduction to the work of the William Ransom Hogan Archive of New Orleans Jazz Oral History can be heard HERE. The 12-minute interview with curator Bruce Rayburn outlines the origin of the Archive, and how it has built up to more than 600 recordings, described as “a window to the soul of New Orleans”.  100 years of jazz in Britain – BBC Radio 4 BBC radio producer Harry Parker visited the Archive in January to research the early years of jazz in the UK. In three programmes to be broadcast in February Kevin Le Gendre will explore how the music spread into popular culture after the Original Dixieland Jazz Band brought the sound of jazz to people’s consciousness. In the first episode Kevin explores how jazz made its way to the UK and how the idea of jazz began to spread into other areas of culture. In the second, he looks at the influence of the visits of Duke Ellington before and after World War II, and in the third, he investigates the role of jazz in post-World War II Britain and how the split between traditional and modern jazz showed itself in other art forms such as poetry. The programmes are on Radio 4 on Tuesday 14, 21 and 28 February at 11.30am.
