The Club 43 Manchester, England
The Club 43 Manchester, England was extremely influential in promoting the appearance of live performances of American jazz musicians. Up until the later part of the sixties performances by American musicians were very difficult to arrange because of the Musicians...
Doom And Gloom - But We Still Have The Music
Reports from many parts of the globe and conversations with musicians give a definite impression that in general things are tough. Fewer gigs. Less money. A general malaise. I suppose it would be naive to expect that jazz should be...
The Enthusiasm of Individuals
To paraphrase the quotation 'I have always depended on the kindness of strangers' It is in my view a truism that jazz,has to a great extent, looked for its promotion, venues, and general wellbeing 'on the enthusiasm of individuals '....
Real Book and The Smart Phone
It has become a familiar sight. At jam sessions - forgivable - perhaps. On gigs - not so acceptable - just my opinion. What am I referring to ? The array of one or more Smart Phones being used to...
Never Mind The Quality Feel The Hype
How often do we hear proclaimed loudly by the publicists, in newspapers, in magazines, on radio, on television " Behold the new Billie Holiday " or the linking of some rather average talent to artists - usually dead - who...

Festival Diary 9th. of July 2010 Porec is a town located on the west coast of Istria. Due to its extraordinary geographical position, its natural attractions and cultural monuments, Porec is today one of the most important touristic sites in Croatia....
Monday Night Jazz Jam In Ljubljana
Though I have often traversed Slovenia en route to Croatia - my Son Adam and his family live and work in Zagreb - my visits have always been transitory, just stopping to fill the car with petrol, or to take...

Osmosis - Or - Technique Is In The Genes
My good friend Joe Higham sent me the link to an interview with Charlie Parker that had been posted on YouTube. Most interesting because in general not having had much opportunity to listen to Bird in verbal exchanges rather than...
Pre-Chewed - Easy To Swallow
Easy listening. What is its function? The first food given to babies following on from an exclusive diet of milk is normally some smooth and macerated mélange that will slip down easily. Though one has to admit that these preparations...

ZAGREB (AFP) – Croatian jazz great Bosko Petrovic, who has played and recorded with many international stars, died here Monday at the age of 75, the national musicians' association said. Petrovic, born in 1935 in the northern town of Bjelovar, was...
The Stonehenge City Jazzmen
Sometimes I have a feeling that telepathy is a tangible phenomena. Ian Maud who runs the excellent website http://www.sandybrownjazz.co.uk asked if I would contribute an article about playing with the support band on a Mick Mulligan Band gig at RAF...
The Past Is A Different - And Unknown - Country
Ask any student within a classical music conservatory who Beethoven was and ask him or her to say something about his music and I am confident that you would receive a coherent reply. Their preference may be for the for...
Keeping The Be-Bop Spirit Alive In A Modern Hip-Hop Age
I have mentioned elsewhere how much the jazz scene depends up the enthusiasm of individuals. A story dropped into my email box that aptly demonstrated how the enthusiasm of individuals inspires enthusiasm in others. A CHARACTER DRIVEN FEATURE LENGTH DOCUMENTARY LOOKING...
Hot Clube De Portugal - Fire Totally Destroys This Historic …
When I put Jazz Clubs Worldwide online some thirteen years ago, the very first club to send me information was the Hot Clube de Portugal. So it is with considerable sadness, following on from a call on Skype from Claude...
Willy Vande Walle - Saxophonist
I played for more than five years with Willy Vande Walle's 'Jazz Express'. Willy was a great guy but a lot of the time was overwhelmed by the complications of a life that included three former wives and a partiality...
Hard Bop Is Alive And Well - No Need For An Apology
There is a tendency in some zones of the jazz world to devalue what can be loosely described as earlier styles. This particularly so by a certain species of jazz critic who want to proclaim that they are riding on...
The House of Sam Widges
One of the really interesting features about the Internet is almost stream-of-consciousness mode you can slip into as the direct consequence of a somewhat specific search. ' The House of Sam Widges ' floated into a view. It was a coffee...
Under 35 Likes Jazz
This morning I had a sad email from California following on from my 'Jazz Clubs Worldwide September Newsletter' where I talked about the current health of the jazz scene internationally. I quote: "Hello Peter: I wanted you to know, in case...
Derek Wadsworth
A very great friend of more that forty years, the late Derek Wadsworth, who died on th 3 December 2008 at his home in Aynho, Northamptonshire, England. Derek was to use the old but apt cliche: a musicians musician. Derek's career started...
Good News From Perth Australia
I received this letter from Roy Burton from Perth in Australia. Though he outlines some of the problems confronting jazz in Australia - also applicable to many other parts of the world - his story in general is very heartening...

A Joyful Sound
All too often, when attending jazz concerts, the music on offer resembles an audio chapter of some particularly obtuse Neitzichian analysis. Not that I have anything against Neitziche. I am as interested in Zarathustra as the next man. However what...
Jazz Festivals Minus The Jazz
Looking at some upcoming some major jazz festival programmes one wonders just what are the jazz credentials of many of the listed Headliners. Rock musicians yes. World Music maybe. Who knows what kind of music much of the time. The...
Simple Isn't Easy
The late Red Mitchell composed and penned the lyrics for a song entitled 'Simple Isn't Easy" the title track of an album of the same name. Red was a man who knew a thing or to about jazz. For there exists...
Saxophone Mouthpieces and the Quest for the Perfect Reed
A year or so in a moment of barely concealed lunacy I decided I would start to learn the Soprano Saxophone. "So What" you might say. Well I do play the Valve Trombone. But I must also add that I...

The question Moe Green poses about the absence of compositions of Jelly Roll Morton in the repertoire of the performing bands is one that has interested me from time to time. Let me say that I have a great admiration for...
Talent - Where does it come from ?
A few days ago I was doing some research on the Internet to collect material for a linguistics project I am developing with and for a colleague who is based in Stockholm. The project concerns 'Intranslatable Words' and the website...
