My Dad loves Jazz
My Dad loves jazz. since the early 30's he has been a fan. Until recently he had a massive collection of 78's form pre war onwards. He also is a great source of information on the subject and can talk for hours about the different recording sessions and who played what, its fascinating. He is now 85 years old. I keep trying to get him to at least write it all down or maybe record the stuff for posterity, because as I SAY TO HIM ONCE HE IS GONE THE INFORMATION WILL BE LOST FOREVER.
I have lifted some peoples information from the excellent BBC 3 100 Jazz profiles. And I have tried to find relevant You Tube footage for as many pages as I can watch them it will give you a flavour of the music my favourites are Ella and Peggy Lee fabulous. My Dads name is Duke Holdway. If people want to get hold of him to discuss the subject contact me and I will pass it on. |
