Just writing to assure you all that traditional/classic jazz is alive and
well with my acasional bands, even though we only play out very
acasionally.

When at university, people often comment on my gramaphone that sits on my
desk, so i play a record on it, and most of my 78s are classic jazz. They
always enjoy the music, although a couple of people told me it sounds like
tom and jerry.
it's my 21st birthday in march, i wonder if the dj will play any trad jazz
LOL
infact, i hope they don't get me a bloomin dj...
chears,
rob.
