Peter Gamble
Peter has contributed to Jazz Journal and many other music publications over more decades than he cares to remember. He has written or contributed to a number of books including the late 1980s collaboration with the late photographer Peter Symes entitled Focus On Jazz. His writing has not been confined to the music world - he has also written on cricket, football and horse racing, all part of a sporting passion that runs parallel with his love of jazz.
