May 4, 2020 By 8 Comments
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

15 years ago.

Tragically Cancelled: 2020 Fest Jazz Châteauneuf-du-Faou
April 21, 2020 By Leave a Comment
It is with huge regret that Trevor Stent needed to request Jazz&Jazz to post this announcement.
“Just to tell you all that we have decided to cancel Fest Jazz 2020 in Brittany. The situation is just too uncertain to risk it.

April 17, 2020 By Leave a Comment
Bob Ironside Hunt announced today: “My old boss Chris Barber turns 90 today!
All the best mate, and thanks for all the good times!“
Thanks Bob for announcing this and especially thank you, Chris, for your
massive contribution to Jazz. I managed to capture the YouTube above from
way back in The Gods in Wyllyotts Theatre, Potters Bar.
Afterwards I was privileged to steel a lengthy conversation with Chris.
