Telford, where our Jazz Quartet performsTowns, cities and regions have an influence on the style of music, whether it is the 'English Countryside' feel of Vaughan Williams, the strength of Elgar's Victorian Malvern, or the skirl of Northumbrian Pipe tune. Of Telford, has been said:- " In 1849 the railway came and Wellington immediately became an important junction with lines to Shrewsbury, Crewe, Stafford, Wolverhampton and to South Wales via Much Wenlock. Now the M54 Motorway is also just as important a link as the railway. Being on the edge of the East Shropshire coalfield, but surrounded on 3 sides by fertile farmland, Wellington became the chief town of its area for its livestock market and its wool sales. It also developed into the local shopping,' banking, professional, transport and trading centre. With the advent of Telford, a 'new town' built on the farmland between the towns and villages of the Wrekin area, Wellington's way of life was to change dramatically. Wellington has nevertheless managed to retain its identity complementing the Telford Town centre and through the continued housing development at its fringes and the thriving Wellington Market, it continues as a successful and important part of the Wrekin community. " """Some people say there was no jazz tenor before me. All I know is I just had a way of playing and I didn't think in terms of any other instrument but the tenor. I honestly couldn't characterize my style in words. It seems like whatever comes to me naturally is what I play.""
