What a lovely surprise to come home to after a good day’s grafting lime rendering a wall!
Very much looking forward to getting stuck into this tome by master penman Duncan Heining, put together with accompanying CD by the tireless folks at Jazz In Britain; John Thurlow & Pete Woodman. I know it’s going to be a fantastic read. Go get yours!
Thank you chaps 🙏🏽

I only tell you about the real good ones and this one always is:
The Brass Volcanoes - the UK’s leading ‘New Orleans’ brass band are playing tonight at the Cafe in the Crypt, St Martin’s in the Fields in Trafalgar Square TONIGHT from 7pm.
Hope to see some friends there, come say hello, you won’t regret it!
The Brass Volcanoes are inspired by the New Orleans brass band tradition of soaring trumpets, booming bass and high-octane performances. Sousaphone player Graham Hughes formed the Brass Volcanoes in 2007, and from the outset the focus was on spontaneity, energy, interaction and...

This video is nine years old which is interesting to me because it was nine years ago (almost to the day) when I first visited New Orleans and first learnt that this is exactly what ’jazz’ music is despite being brought up within the UK ‘jazz’ scene which to this day has missed the vital essence of what the music is all about.
Video I shot for some 9 year old kids jamming out in Downtown Nashville.
There’s been a couple I haven’t filmed in the studio so suffice to say the album is coming along fairly nicely. Here’s one of today’s works in progress… ‘I’ll Fly Away”. .. ..🦅🦇🕊️
live drums yet to be added on all tracks so far… who’s gonna be the lucky drummer to pep it all up?
