In fond memory of the founder of the MaD Jazzers who departed this life in June 2024, 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.
In April our theme was ‘the male voice in jazz’. The choices varied in style and decade and it was really good listening.
