By popular demand… I went and made a list of 30 essential bigband records. These are all albums that I think anyone interested in large ensemble jazz — and particularly anyone interested in writing for this format — will find very rewarding. I know they have been for me!

We're SO ready to be back with a live audience at The Gosforth Civic. The live stream last year was cool - but it just wasn't the same... After a decade of sell-out shows, we expect this year to do the same again- grab your seats at strictly-smokin.co.uk Ho ho ho 🎅

Just got the very sad news about my friend and one of the Legends of The Organ, Dr. Lonnie Smith has made his final transition. He’ll be missed dearly, but never forgotten. He brought much joy to the world with his music. Love you Doc!! RIP❤️

Murray did it properly - he put us through 4 years of agony before he finally won one - none of this straight from A levels in Bromley to champion in 6 months nonsense.

This is something that could really help us jazzers. The more of us that add to this questionnaire, the more weight it will carry. appjag.org/2021/08/08/review…
