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 In fact it seemed to result in a degree of turmoil and appears to have been quickly withdrawn by Facebook!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
to help encounter the doldrums of Corbid19.

Yes, it rained a little, but not nearly enough to dampen applause for Tad Newton’s Jazz Friends at Fest Jazz 2014. Nor to dampen spirits – watch out for the dancers
who took to the floor.

Pizza Express Jazz Club, Dean Street, hosted an outstanding London debut for 19 year old star Andrea Motis (vocals, soprano sax & trumpet). Pizza Express likened the young Catalonian star to Norah Jones who also made her London debut at the same venue.
Andrea is accompanied by Joan Chamorro (contrabass and tenor sax); Ignasi Terraza (piano);
Josep Traver (Guitar); Esteve Pi (Drums).
This magical number is “Flor De Lis” by Djavan.

Joan Chamorro conducts his phenomenal band of youngsters in the spellbinding finale at Châteauneuf-du-Faou’s Tenth Anniversary Fest Jazz, July, 2014. Absorb the rapturous audience applause as I pan around the packed marquee between numbers.
A spellbinding session and it was a privilege to film it. I asked one of
Tuba Skinny’s musicians what he thought of The Sant Andreu Band.
He replied, “Scary Good!”

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.
