In fond memory of the founder of the MaD Jazzers who departed this life in June, the group has been renamed ‘The Bryan Ruskin MaD Jazzers’. Bryan would have been so very proud to know that the group he loved so much now bears his name.
Our theme for December was ‘Jazz and Quincy Jones’ in memory of the great man who died recently. The playlist was great, showing what a huge influence Quincy Jones had on all forms of music, not only jazz.
Below is the playlist – click on the links to listen.
