My Jazz Story

I am a former BBC jazz presenter and promotor. I hosted ‘Jazz First’ on BBC Essex for five years. Chances are, if you were an international crate digger during the 90’s and a regular attendee at record conventions, you probably bought some rare jazz vinyl from me. I moved to Spain in 2001, and continued presenting on local radio and helped promote the San Javier International Jazz Festival for several years. Now in my twilight years, for my 'love of jazz,’ I have decided to return to broadcasting and help promote young and new innovative jazz artists.
