Hi folks,
I've just heard the sad news about Diz. He started me off in jazz when I jammed with him at Hitchin folk club in 1970, and over the years we played a lot of clubs together as well as some storming sessions at the Cambridge Folk Festival including the Grappelli tour in 1973.
In fact it's due to him that I'm still playing jazz and m.d.ing big bands now.
I owe him everything.
Many thanks Diz. RIP and I'll see you in a few years time when its my turn to cross over to the great gig in the sky. I'll be bringing the 5 string wardrobe with me!
