[Local Traditional Jazz 50s. 60s.]

Hello DavidW,

Tonysfriend here again, sorry for the delay. 

Is your brother Bob Wilson by any chance?

Tony, whose friend I actually really am, and for whose sake I've created this profile,  says this would be the only one he could think of.

Tony now lives in a village in South Devon and he changed his name to Byron T. Jackson, in 1980. He retired from performing in 2004. 

He is thinking about an idea to make a PDF copy of a couple of books he made and self-published, about the history of jazz in Nottingham. They are full of photos and illustrations by Tony and his wife Valerie and one of them is handwritten in Tony's longhand. He would like to make them freely available to public.

 

Jazz is Alive & Well & Can Be Found in Nottingham (1969)

A Pictorial History of Nottingham Jazz 1946 - 1967 (1990) 

 

Do you think there would be an interest in these 2 ebooks? I am helping him with this project so we were wondering where would be a good place to share these books.

 

Hana

Hello there, Ive just signed up today specifically to ask this question, would be wonderful if somebody remembered.

Just wondering if anyone remembers jazz singer Tony Jackson who sung with the Leen Valley Jazzmen in 1964?
