Conscia Jazz, Bedford, Presents “Little Lions” at Jazz in The Park, Thursday, 29th September
September 19, 2016 By Leave a Comment
This month we are bringing our 2016 JAZZ AT THE PARK series to a close with a very exciting and individual event. LITTLE LIONS are coming to Bedford on the 29th September. They are a unique band featuring pianist Matt Robinson, organist/keyboardist Joe Webb and drummer/percussionist Corrie Dick.
As always there will be a Q & A session with the artists during the second set.
Introducing The Little Lions
“This vibrant and effortlessly tasteful partnership comprises three young luminaries: pianist Matt Robinson, organist/keyboardist Joe Webb, and drummer/percussionist Corrie Dick. The band was brought together by their shared passion and talent for emotionally honest music. Taking insight from the glorious film scores of Thomas Newman, the melodic finesse of Joni Mitchell and the finesse and groove of Larry Goldings, Little Lions is quickly forging it’s own unique sound, captivating audiences of all inclinations. Since their inaugural performance in 2014, Little Lions’ live show has been characterised by engaging good humour and warm euphoric timbres. They meld together the realms of singer-songwriter, jazz, ambience and emotive soundtracks in a brand new and utterly individual way.”
The event starts at 8pm with doors open from 7.40pm. Tickets are on sale at conscia.org, and food is available to pre order from the cafe for the evening. Menu Options. (Tickets to the event do not include food which is purchased separately). We look forward to seeing you there!!
Many thanks,

The Plight of Jazz, Jazz Festivals, Jazz Clubs, Jazz Musicians and Jazz Fans – An Appeal!
September 18, 2016 By Leave a Comment
Duke Ellington “created an orchestra that was so diverse and yet so unique that he was guaranteed to remain at the front of the music for years.”
Charles Mingus to Duke Ellington: “Why don’t you, me and Dizzy and Clark Terry and Thad Jones get together and make an avant-guard record?”
The Duke’s response: “Why should we go back that far? Let’s not take music back that far, Mingus. Why not just make a modern record?”
Mingus later commented: “If I was avant-garde in 1954, then what am I now? Avant-avant garde? Modern-modern, new thing new thing? The new, new thing?”
In 1959 Ellington wrote: “I don’t want to be modern … futuristic … and neither do I want to be hung by the plaintiveness of something we might have done years ago, even with success, I don’t want to have to feel obliged to play something with the same styling that we became identified with at some particular period. I have no ambition to reach some intellectual plateau and look down on the people. And by the same token, I don’t want anyone to challenge my right to sound completely mad, to screech like a wild man, to create the mauve melody of a simpering idiot, or to write a song that praises God, if I so desire.” (“A Royal View of Jazz” 83).
“Jazz continues the pattern of barrier breaking and emerges as the freest musical expression we have yet seen. To me, then, jazz means simply freedom of musical speech! And it is precisely because to this freedom that many varied forms of jazz exist. The important thing to remember, however, is that not one of these forms represents jazz by itself. Jazz means simply the freedom to have many forms.” (Interpretation in Jazz).
“Jazz is the assassination, the murdering, the slaying of syncopation. In fact it is a revolution in this kind of music. I even go as far to confess we are musical anarchists … seldom consistent, every number played by us eclipsing in originality and effect our previous performances.” Nick LaRocca interviewed in Britain in 1920 when his Original Dixieland Jazz Band (ODJB) first came to England.
The Plight of Jazz Today
Perhaps the biggest problem jazz has today, and has probably always had, is a disconnect due to lack of communication and consultation from the top down – i.e. between bands, musicians, clubs and fans – and yes, festivals. Each and every one of these are in it for their own ends. And why not? Isn’t survival the key? Even if it comes to survival of the fittest and finest? Yes there is friendship, camaraderie, mutual respect – but when the chips are down, each is in it for himself. Survival of the fittest!!! Most certainly this is the UK scene. And the end result – clubs are closing, festivals are ending, bands and musicians are struggling for gigs. And fans? Well too many of them – and they are a declining breed – are even yet chasing UK Trad, not accepting that there are other wonderful dimensions to the music.
Musicians need bands, bands need clubs, clubs need fans, and fans want festivals. Yet all are in decline. Amongst the oldies that is. Because there is an entirely new dimension to jazz these days. Not just in New Orleans and Europe but also in the UK. Younger musicians forming younger bands and playing for younger fans at their own select, mainly city, venues. Because, yes, jazz does have a future. And they are happy to play at “oldie jazz clubs” and to represent the future at festivals.
Search the pages of Jazz&Jazz to discover some of them because they are the future of jazz.
“Why Not Make a Modern Record?”
Forget trad, forget mainstream! Read again what The Duke said all those years ago: “Why should we go back that far? Let’s not take music back that far, Mingus. Why not just make a modern record?”
I’m opening this up for discussion via “Comments” below and by linking the post to my Social Media outlets. Let’s get together and make jazz work! For musicians, for clubs, for festivals and for fans! Let’s get off our buts, stop fighting our own precious yet declining corners, work together, arm-in-arm, and raise the flag for a brand new, promising era for jazz!
Or have I posted this totally in vain? Are all my efforts on Jazz&Jazz totally in vain? After a lapse of years, I got back into jazz a decade ago. Am I going to find my return totally in vain? Promise me not!
Just a perk in closing. When I posted this on Jazz&Jazz a couple of years ago I was request to take it down. But when the producers recognised my aims, they reversed that decision:

Focus on New Orleans 2010 & 2016 Part 2
September 13, 2016 By 2 Comments
Changes in New Orleans: Jazz&Jazz photographer Laurence Cumming visited New Orleans in May this year and captured a series of magical photographs which inspired me to revisit the photos I took six years ago during the 2010 French Quarter Festival.
Part 1 of “Focus on New Orleans 2010 & 2016” was published on Jazz&Jazz in July this year.
Here is the continuation of our “Then and Now” New Orleans Photo Story.

National Jazz Archive Fundraising Concert, Alan Barnes Quintet, 22 October
September 11, 2016 By Leave a Comment
Alan Barnes plays a fund-raiser for the National Jazz Archive
The multi-award-winning performer Alan Barnes is bringing an all-star group of top UK jazz musicians to play a fund-raising concert for the National Jazz Archive on the afternoon of 22 October in Loughton, Essex.
Alan Barnes is a prolific international performer, composer, arranger, bandleader and touring soloist. He is best known for his work on clarinet, alto and baritone saxes, where he combines virtuosity with a musical expression and collaborative spirit that have few peers. His range and brilliance have made him a ‘first call’ for studio and live work.
Alan’s musicianship, indefatigable touring, and warm rapport with audiences have made him uniquely popular in British jazz. He has received over 25 British Jazz Awards, most recently in 2014 for clarinet, and has twice been BBC Jazz Musician of the Year.
His Quintet for the concert brings together the cream of current British jazz musicians – Henry Lowther, trumpet, Frank Harrison, piano, Simon Thorpe, bass, and Matt Fishwick, drums.
This concert is one of a series during 2016 to raise funds to support the work of the Loughton-based National Jazz Archive.
Alan said: “I’m very pleased to be bringing this group of fine musicians to Loughton to support the National Jazz Archive and the work it does in to collecting and recording the history of our music.”
The venue for the concert is Loughton Methodist Church, 260 High Road, Loughton, Essex IG10 1RB, close to the Archive’s home in Loughton Library, where there is extensive parking, 1 km from Loughton Station on the Central Line, and served by numerous bus routes.
The concert starts at 2.30pm and tickets cost £15.

Bernie Tyrell Was There First!
September 10, 2016 By Leave a Comment
Despite initial setbacks, much as AirLander has to be lauded for its advanced technology, Cardington Hangers boasted a predecessor Airship back in July, 1990,
and Jazz’s very own Bernie Tyrell was one of the very first to fly in
Airship Industries’ SKYSHIP 600.
Bernie’s little known secret! Trust a jazz drummer to get there first!
And to think that the Cardington Hangers are virtually on our doorstep. Why if we’d lived here back in 1990 we could have invited Bernie to visit for a toddy or two – that is after he’d booked SKYSHIP 600 for his eventual trip to join his fellow jazzers in the skies!

Festival Forensics: Does Fest Jazz Have The Answers?
September 8, 2016 By 11 Comments
In his 22nd August Jazz North West News Update, Fred Burnet commented: “Talking of Jazz Festivals, FestJazz organiser Trevor Stent has written on Jazz&Jazz: “All festival organisers moan about money, and we are no exception. However, our village has only 3,600 inhabitants, is situated in one of the poorest areas of Brittany and yet gives us a lot of help. They give us a grant of 6,000€ per year, they provide all the fencing and electrical generators, supply the skilled work force for two weeks to prepare the festival site and lend us a lorry from the commune for a week. We would be really, really interested to know how this compares with help from councils in the UK. More? Less? How does it compare with Bude, Swanage, Bute, Keswick, Upton etc etc??”
Châteauneuf-du-Faou Mayor Jean-Pierre Roland welcomes festival goers in French and Spanish. He was followed by Fest Jazz President, Angelina, welcoming them in the Breton language and by Trevor speaking in English.
Failure to Attract a Younger Age Group
More and more voices are being raised about the parlous state of jazz festivals in the UK. Only days ago, Roger Marshall, writing in the Dove Jazz Club Bugle, announced that The Dove Jazz & Beer Festival is to come to an end due to lack of support and sponsorship: “Our failure to attract a younger age group of people to attend our promotions and take an interest in our music means that there are no willing youthful hands reaching out to grasp the baton safely and take it through the next stage. This single factor has by far held the greatest sway in us reaching our decision. So, having thought about and considered all aspects very carefully, it’s with a heavy heart that we have decided that the 2016 Festival will be our last.” (Note: Dove jazz Club will, however, continue as normal).
Nor is Dove alone in the UK. For instance doubts are also being raised about Keswick.
The Editorial in the August issue of Just Jazz Magazine lamented that: “The penny pinching attitude is not going to rejuvenate the beleaguered situation. For new faces, new audiences and new bands, especially the younger bands, we have to put our hands in our pockets.”
And the leader of a top rate UK band recently emailed me: “It’s tough getting work for the band, especially as we’re busy doing all sorts of different projects.”
Involving Young People: Does Fest Jazz Have The Answers?
Trevor Stent emailed me: “I’ve been thinking about how to spread the word about the young management team at Fest Jazz. Partly to “show off” the festival obviously but also because I firmly believe that our methods are the only way to involve young people in the music… and save it. For those on Facebook, we’ve published an article which you can see at: www.facebook.com/festjazz. The idea is to show the Fest Jazz 2016 Team with plenty of young faces.
Festival Présidente, Angelina Beauvir
Above all, Trevor pinpoints the involvement of young people in the organisation of the festival each year from September onwards as key to Fest Jazz’s success in attracting increasing numbers of younger fans.
In keeping with this, Fest Jazz aims for:
- A variety of music, not wall to wall classic jazz but other styles which perhaps many readers of Just Jazz might enjoy more than they think they would. (Please note Jim McIntosh’s very pertinent comments at the foot of this post).
- Fewer bands than at many other traditional jazz festivals and fewer on site venues. For a fabulous atmosphere (much appreciated by everybody, especially the young) it’s better to have 500 in each venue than 10 venues each with just 50 fans in the audience.
- Modern, up-to-the minute graphics and communication. Trevor asks “Why do so many UK jazz posters display pictures of elderly, whiskered sousaphone players? Or elderly ladies with umbrellas? As much as I like and admire such musicians and fans, we’ve got to accept that they simply won’t help in attracting young people.”
- Pulling out all the stops to attract young Lindy Hop dancers.
- Involving young people to front the festival by welcoming and presenting the groups on stage, by serving at the bars, and even talking to the press/radio/TV about the festival.
- Use modern stage and lighting techniques to enhance the performance of the musicians.
- Ensure free food and drinks for the musicians and volunteers during the festival weekend. In France that’s expected and it helps to create a convivial atmosphere between the groups and the volunteers (ask Dorine de Wit and Ben Holder!)
- Another reason for Fest Jazz’s year on year success is undoubtedly the involvement from the outset of Festival Organiser Trevor Stent’s own band, Good Time Jazz. Experienced, well-travelled musicians who “know what works”.

Louis Prima Forever
Jazz&Jazz Fest Jazz YouTubes
Since the Festival ended on 31st July, I have published a series of posts featuring Jazz&Jazz YouTubes which Ginny and I filmed over the weekend capturing the full on festival atmosphere. The links to the posts are listed below. But so full on was the activity that regrettably we missed filming a couple of bands and in particular the wonderful Louis Prima Forever. Jean d’Audignac came to the rescue with his very special YouTube Feature highlighting clips from the entire festival weekend:
“Trevors festival is very refreshing indeed and the fact that the audience is open to the music holds the key. I’m afraid jazz in the UK, the older stuff which I love, is a matter of being “historical” and not “topical” and it will die and become the former. Most of the musicians who love this music rant on about the older music and know nothing of todays generation and vice versa. Trevor said I’d be back again at some point – let’s hope it’s not too much of a wait!” Sean Moyses.
“I hope Trevor Stent gets the credit he deserves for organising what is obviously a very successful Fest Jazz . Well done Trevor and his Chateauneuf team.” Pamela Turner.
