About this blog - contact details.
Not a very original title, I know; not even an accurate one as my taste, whilst centred around the music of Bird and Diz, extends in many directions and I listen to everything from King Oliver to Chick Corea and beyond. Not forgetting the Great American Songbook the contents of which has provided the inspiration for much great jazz and quality popular singing for round about a century.
The idea of this blog is for you to share your thoughts and pass on your comments on discs, gigs, jazz - music in general. If you've been to a gig/concert or heard a CD that knocked you sideways please share your views with us. Tell us about your favourites, your memories, your dislikes.

I met David a number of times having studied Jazz Theory with him and he was an amazing person. Very erudite and a master at explaining things in a simple and informative way. I was told had to stop playing trombone after a car crash where he broke his jaw and was refused treatment at an american hospital. He will be missed by many for sure.
