Facebook et al …

Just a brief post. Facebook recently “updated / improved” their social media site. Can’t say I, nor many others were enamoured by the convoluted results. In fact it seemed to result in a degree of turmoil and appears to have been quickly withdrawn by Facebook!

The problem is a dependence on Facebook to draw attention to and promote the latest features published here on Jazz&Jazz. The solution would be for jazz fans to regularly visit Jazz&Jazz to keep up with our very latest posts and features, rather than depend on cross referencing from Facebook, nor indeed other Social Media sites.

So the bottom line is that I would much rather fans made regular visits here – to Jazz&Jazz – to share input. After all, Jazz&Jazz posts on Facebook appear here first.

You can use Speak Your Mind below to comment on this and other Jazz&Jazz features. For starters your thoughts and comments on this post would be hugely appreciated.

Ironically I will now share this on my Facebook Jazzers Group – https://www.facebook.com/CelebratingJazz – to spread the word!

Meantime why not enjoy my new series of Jazz&Jazz YouTubes posted

Presenting My Very First Jazz&Jazz Festival – Despite Covid 19!

The Jazz&Jazz Online Festival Program will contain specially selected Jazz&Jazz YouTubes from over 400 I’ve filmed in recent years.

This first “festival” includes numbers from the very last Thursday lunchtime jazz session at a packed full
100 Club back on 12th December, 2013.

“100 Club Finale Festivities”


But first let’s delve back to my three earliest YouTubes!

Out Gunning the 2020 Covid 19 Live Jazz Blackout: J&J YouTube No 18 Cleo Laine “My Man Don’t Love Me”

This Jazz&Jazz YouTube is extra special. Flashback to a glorious summer’s day in 2014 when I was hugely privileged to film Cleo Laine singing “My Man Don’t Love Me” with her daughter Jacqui in the gardens at The Stables.

A Golden Opportunity !

Barry Palser – A Tribute

I learned from John Petters earlier today the sad news that
Barry Palser has passed away.

The news came as a stunner because his band was one of the first
I followed, photographed and filmed when I got back into jazz some
15 years ago.
