New album from York Music Forum Youth Jazz Ensemble! Very cool stuff… yorkmusicforum.com/audio Bad Kids To The Back

Continuing the theme of lovely things that have happened in the last week or so, Thursday saw the release of the Youth Jazz Ensemble album ‘Bad Kids To The Back’. Frankly, it’s fantastic and you need to listen to it! yorkmusicforum.com/audio

Yesterday the Youth Jazz Ensemble performed at the Music for Youth Regional Festival in Hull. This is the longer of the 2 pieces we played, ‘Butterfly’ by Herbie Hancock. They did a pretty fine job I would say! Ian youtu.be/xctCtjtUMUE?si…
