January's most viewed posts

Two posts dominated the most viewed statistics in January and for two very different reasons. By far the most significant post was the announcement that much loved saxist John Wheeler had died. The one post none of us expected. Sad as this was, it let the world know the legacy John left us. Not just as a musician but as a lovely person. RIP.
The other item was the posts surrounding the highly successful Jazz North East Fund Raising event both before and after. Good that it was so well supported.
Also well viewed were reviews of:
Mark Williams and Claude Werner at the Jazz Café; Mo Scott at the Bridge and forthcoming events at Hoochie Coochie.
