FEATURING TAD NEWTON’S JAZZFRIENDS
Ramsgate Seaside Shuffle Fans are looking forward to giving a very warm seasonal welcome to Doolally Tap at their Christmas Special, 12 Noon on Saturday, 15 December.
Les, who passed away on Sunday 18th November aged 67 after a three year fight with cancer, was Acker Bilk’s Tour and Stage Manager along with mixing the band’s stage shows for over 40 years.
The Jonny Hepbir Quartet have been playing together worldwide for nearly 10 years and use an all-acoustic line-up of guitars, double bass and vocals – playing all the songs you love with their own unique twist.
I was truly saddened to read Pete Lay’s obituary to Ivan Gandon in the pages
of the September, 2018, issue of Just Jazz Magazine.
Jazz on the Rooftop with the Jazz Pilgrims!
What better way to celebrate the success of Ramsgate Seaside Shuffle’s 2018 sunshine festival than with East Kent based Burt Butler’s Jazz Pilgrim’s rooftop concert with special courtesy of Ramsgate’s brand new Weatherspoons. [Read more…]
Note: Sadly, due to the atrocious weather, Tad has reluctantly had to cancel tomorrow’s Walnut Tree event featuring The Don Steele Band with Jan Bryce. Tad messaged me: “I will offer an October date to Jan and band Cheers, Tad.” The band would have had to travel from deepest Kent, one of the worst hit counties. Years ago when I lived in East Kent there were devastating winters. The sea even froze for almost a mile off shore in 1963.
Despite current inclement weather, Don and his band are assured of a very warm welcome at
The Walnut Tree, Blisworth, on Sunday, 4th March. Hailing from Kent, this will be a very special gig for trombonist Jan Bryce.
Popular belief is that Jazz has had its day. Not so! There are plenty of great bands on the jazz circuits - playing at Concerts, Clubs, Festivals. People say the musicians and fans are past their sell by dates and don’t attract younger audiences. Again, not so! There is a Jazz Revival! Numerous younger bands with growing numbers of enthusiastic young fans are making their mark.
“Jazz & Jazz” is an invaluable platform for news about young bands and musicians. It’s a great way for organisers like me to know what is going on! The enthusiasm of Peter Butler is inspirational and infectious and has certainly done much to boost the reputation of Fest Jazz beyond the boundaries of Brittany. Long may the site continue and flourish!”
Trevor Stent, Good Time Jazz
“Dear Peter, You have embarked on a lonely road. There have been few people painting New Orleans musicians over the years. There was one guy named Frank Caunce … in the 1965 - 72 period who was very good but not as organised as you. So keep doing what you are doing.”
Barry Martyn, New Orleans
“Very pleased to be associated with Jazz & Jazz. It promises to be be an influential contribution not just to the UK but to any one anywhere capable of accessing it. My Old Green River Band is delighted to have the opportunity to register its gigs and geographical whereabouts and to see the results this must have for all those associated.”
Martin Bennett, The Old Green River Band
“Fantastic Peter, you've got a talent for capturing people! Perhaps I need to have a shave!!!
Emile Martyn, The Fallen Heroes.
