sidewinder Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) Major moving force behind the esteemed Camden Jazz Week and Bracknell Jazz Festivals of yore, plus the mighty London Jazz Festival of more recent years. Also responsible for a myriad of tours through the Contemporary Music Network and his own Serious Productions organisation. Although he had retired from Serious I believe, still a huge loss to live UK Jazz organisation and great debt owed by those of us who witnessed his various organised festivals and tours. R.I.P and many thanks. https://jazzjournal.co.uk/2020/05/20/obituary-john-cumming/ Edited May 20, 2020 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjazzg Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 I wouldn't have seen half the Jazz musicians I have if it weren't for his work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
