Some rather nice news!

In November, I wrote a post about the London Jazz Festival, and I included some photographs I had taken.

Later, I wrote how one of the trumpet players had seen my pictures of him on flickr, and had emailed me about them. (Sorry, I can’t find that post.) He was asking for permission to put my pictures on their website, and to quote what I had said about the gig.

And now the leader of the band - Mike Westbrook, one of the luminaries of the British jazz scene - has emailed to ask if he can use the pictures on the band’s new CD.

I am very pleased. No money, but hey, a free CD. And I feel it is a great compliment. And I like the idea I am doing something positive to support British jazz!

Oh, and I said yes!
