No interesting stories for you (no change there!) but these artists are well represented in various audio media in my collection and I was lucky enough to see them all live in clubs or concert halls, together and in other combos over the years. I'm probably a bit older (65 this month)than the Villan but I was a bit older (about 9 or 10) when I discovered jazz via hearing Louis Armstrong on the radio, then listening to all the UK trad bands on BBC (Skiffle Club, Guitar Club, Saturday Club, Jazz Club)and Radio Luxembourg ("Live from the Marquee Club")under the blankets, and as I got older going to clubs: Opposite Lock in Gas St B'ham, 100 Club Oxford St London & recently, Jagz, Ascot...
