Jazz in the New Year Honours

Congratulations to the one jazz musician named in today's New Year honours list: an MBE for trumpeter and leader of the long-standing - since 1966! - Apex Jazz Band, George Chambers from Jordanstown, Co. Antrim.

I guess nobody ever got involved in this music with the objective of being alone -apart from this guy, perhaps - so it's a shame (unless I've missed one) to see you without any like-minded company in this morning's list.

RIP Billy Taylor (1921-2010)



Remembering Dr. Billy Taylor, who died on Tuesday 28th December through his unforgettable tune "I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free," in the form in which it has implanted itself deep into British minds.

Here is John Fordham's obituary from this morning's Guardian. And a Washington Post obituary drawing attention to his role as an advocate. RIP.
