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.
