Thanks for that, lovely words which Dad would have appreciated. Thank you.
A great writer as you said, Lance. His biography of Coleman Hawkins is state of the art - required reading for any jazz fan, and particularly tenor players. Sad news.
It was with great sadness that I learnt of Johns passing yesterday .
John and I enjoyed many decades of companionship and I will
always count it as one of life's great privileges .
From our first meeting at the Newcastle City Hall in January 1974 till our last phone
chat a year or two back he was always most gracious and interested in my own " doings "
and spent countless hours during Tyneside visits passing on his considerable knowledge
about performance, programming set lists and the like which has provided a deep well for
myself to draw on over the years in my own work.
Generous to a fault the only thing I can ever remember any slight disagreement about was his insistence that I started to accept being put on the guest list for gigs!
( I of course gave in following John and George saying they where " embarrassed " by me being a paying customer ) Great stuff.
We where always going to try and get to a Football match together ( to see my beloved Gateshead FC but sadly timings and soundchecks always got in the way ) .
It was always an honour to be given his Horns to look after while he signed autographs for the well-wishers after gigs.
.
I will forever have so many fond memories John and his Tyneside visits .
