My Jazz Story
I love jazz because of the music itself, and how it has touched me over
the years. I was first informed of jazz, through seeing and listening
to
Louis Armstrong in movies and hearing his trumpet and singing. I
was also informed by listening to my dad's old records, which included a lot
Jamaican ska, and rock-steady tracks, many of which had horn sections,
and jazz soloing incorporated into the tracks. This took me into deeper
interest later on, and from there, it actually inspired me to want to
play jazz myself.
My House Concert Story
I have hosted open and jazz jam sessions over the last 40 years in Manchester, London and elsewhere in the U.K
Venues in Hulme, The White Horse, the Sir Henry Royce and many others.
Other high points were in the early 90s at PJ Bells Club in Manchester, then Band on the Wall, both were residencies.
This continued in London at The Crypt, Camberwell, then
Rich Mix, Bethnal Green.
All were well attended by musicians and good audiences
They are now very occasional
