Brian O’Connor’s “Images of Jazz”
November 5, 2016 By 18 Comments
Jazz&Jazz is pleased to feature Brian O’Connor’s captivating
“Images of Jazz”
Hi Jazz Fans
After 45 years of jazz and blues photography, I’m finally publishing a book showing a selection of the photos taken during that time. I was hoping to make it 50 years, but have decided to err on the side of caution whilst I can still press a shutter button.
It was hoped that the book would be ready early enough to be in time for reviews to be carried out before Christmas. This is now becoming a close run thing. It is currently at the printer but when you read this it may be available for orders.
So in the meantime I have decided to go ahead some advanced publicity and I am grateful to Jazz&Jazz for this post featuring the book plus the images below. Should you be interested in ordering the book could you please email me at: [email protected]
Many thanks,
Brian O’Connor
Norma Winstone
Liane Carroll
Peter Ind
Gordon Dexter
Cleo Lane & Johnny Dankworth
Courtney Pine
Santana Carlos
Brian would welcome thoughts about the book and his photographs in
“Speak Your Mind” below.

Jazznorthwest Introduces Alex Clarke – “a young lady causing quite a stir”
October 30, 2016 By 3 Comments
In his latest Jazz North West Newsletter Fred Burnett introduced “a young lady causing quite a stir in the NW”.
Fred first mentioned sixteen year old Alex Clarke in his 25th October Newsletter after she made an appearance Saturday night at Roa Island with Martin Bennett’s band, and then on Sunday with The Sun Street Stompers at the Robert Gillow in Lancaster. Mike Lovell followed up by inviting Alex to play with his SIX-IN-A-BAR band at The North Euston Hotel in Fleetwood.
Fred went along and captured the above video on his phone.
So as Fred says “It’s obvious why Alex is beginning to get noticed in this part of Lancashire. You can judge for yourself”!
If you’d like to know more about this young lady, check out www.alexclarkejazz.co.uk

Suzanne Mellard and the New Standards Trio
Suzanne Mellard must be the best kept secret on the British jazz scene. Completely self taught she has a unique voice among her contemporaries and has developed from many influences starting with Sarah Vaughan and Betty Carter through to Mark Murphy, Eddie Jefferson and Kurt Elling. She has performed with many well respected names in the genre including, Dave O’Higgins, Bill Watrous, Dave Newton, Brian Dee and Darius Brubeck.
One highlight of her career was to be invited to perform with Dame Cleo Laine’s band featuring Alan Ganley, John Horler, Mark Nightingale, Malcolm Creese and the legendary Sir John Dankworth at The Stables, Wavendon.
Suzanne’s Dynamic voice encompasses many varied styles and shows her wide range of influences, from Soul and Blues through to Contemporary Jazz and Fusion.
’The ideal jazz voice…intimate and rich in the low range, with great control in all registers’
Darius Brubeck
