At around ten years of age he was given a windup record player and a modest supply of steel needles, on which he played his record collection, consisting of two 78s, one featuring Dizzy Gillespie and the other Fats Waller. He listened to Eric Child’s ABC radio programs in the 1950s and has been a prolific jazz records collector wherever he lived in the world, including Sydney, Kowloon, Winnipeg, New York and Melbourne. He has been a jazz broadcaster on a number of community radio stations in various cities, and now lives in Coffs Harbour. 1 “Play your mistakes” - advice to band members by Miles Davis (above), trumpet player (1926-1991)… PHOTOGRAPHER UNKNOWN _________________________________________________ hy “jazz” trumpet and not just trumpet?
