Young Jazz Musician 2009
Another year and another winner of the BBC Radio Scotland Young Jazz Musician competition. It's the third year we've teamed up with the Glasgow International Jazz Festival and the Scottish Jazz Federation for this event. Tonight was a bit different in that we decided on a live broadcast from the Old Fruitmaket. All went smoothly, although we had eight minutes to fill before the ten o'clcok news which our new winner - 19 year old double bassists, Andrew Robb - managed to do with ease.
You can see exclusive video from the event here.
Here are a few more photographs from tonight.

Congratulations -- a friend of mine actually caught this and was there at the event, and he was just telling me about the wonderful time that he had. Well done -- hopefully next year this Canuck jazz fan would be able to make it :) | Junk Removal Vancouver Service

The Old Fruitmarket really is a great venue, I am not a Jazz fan but stayed on the radio after GIO to listen last night and to my pleasant surprise enjoyed the music.

Norrie - yes it is a great venue. I was once there for a jazz gig and at one point as I sat listening with my 'pint of coke' (I was the designated driver!) I noticed out of the corner of my eye a guy with a video camera surveying the crowd... I wondered why he wasn't shooting the scene on stage but thought no mmore of it until months later when I saw myself on BBC1 on an episode of a holiday programme extolling the virtues of Glasgow as a destination!
I never did live down the coke! :-)
