Dick Swings...
	Hello & welcome to a regular new feature in the weekly Jazz Newsletter ! Each week from here on in you will be subjected to several paragraphs of musings & ramblings by my good self on the huge open ended topic of 'Jazz'. Some of it, I hope, you will empathise with. Some of it, I also hope, you will disagree with. As Miles Davis once said, 'Don't worry about mistakes, there are none'. One of the essential beauties of music in all its forms is that any opinion is ultimately subjective. My objective with this little chunk of prose is hopefully to stimulate conversation, discussion & even perhaps introduce you to someone or something that you may never have heard before. It happens to me all the time when I 'discover' somebody, only to find that they'd been recording regularly for the past fifteen years! Welcome to the wildcard :-)
