Jazz in the period 1945 to 1965. I remember saying this twenty years ago to the late Ed Dipple, proprietor of Mole Jazz in London and he agreed with me. Nowadays I would add my admiration for contemporary jazz musicians who share my enthusiasm for the jazz of 1945 to 1965.

That's very welcome news that the Horizon band are back together. Just hope that they tour Europe (even better - the UK) ! I think the last time I saw that band it had Essiet Essiet on bass, in place of Washington. Totally agree that Victor Lewis is very under-rated. Any time that he appears on a bill is usually good enough for me, no matter who it is with. Victor Lewis? Fabulous drummer! Heard him on a lot of discs and saw him once - with the Carla Bley Orchestra in the late 90s.
