I've been reviewing various styles of music for years now, but I always gravitate towards jazz releases. I enjoy writing about the music and promoting those musicians that have something to add to the genre. I want to hear something new, something that excites me and makes me sit up and wonder how something was created. I organise a monthly jazz night in a small market town in Wiltshire, I've been running this for five years now and the bands get better and the audience gets larger each month which proves that jazz is still something that people want to listen to. I also play double bass in a quintet where the music allows me to think on my feet and play whatever comes into my mind at the time. I'm yet to play the same solo twice!
