For those with the unforgiveable misfortune of not knowing much about yourself and your music, can you give us a brief description? Originally from Devon, I grew up listening to old jazz records that my step dad would bring home. My parents gave me a clarinet to toot at the age of 7 and then I later discovered [...]
I always wanted to open a coffee bar/sandwich place done up like it's 1925, with real vintage jazz records played on a real vintage victrola playing in the background.

If I won the lottery and didn't have to find an actual paying job, I'd want to do it. There's actually a place...

Marco Di Marco on Piano and Fender Rhodes with Jacky Samson on Bass and Charles Saudrais on drums (who were both part of the groundbreaking George Arvanitas Trio) Dusty Groove raved about it: One of our favorite piano jazz albums of all time a slyly funky set from the legendary Marco DiMarco and one that features him on both acoustic piano and Fender...
When I was in college I collected 78 RPM phonograph records, primarily jazz records from the late 1920’s and early 1930’s. I suppose I got pretty good at it, or maybe was just very lucky, since I found and acquired several large jazz and blues collections (a total of over 100,000 records, about 25 tons!, [...]
