It is not here the intention to cover all aspects of the global jazz scene. These Jazz webpages cover only my own personal interests. The personalities and groups listed are selected from the following categories:
- Groups and performers that I saw and heard live in Portsmouth and London in the early 1960s and those throughout my stay in Germany
- All those in my CD and vinyl collections
- Those composers and performers previously listed under ragtime or folk and are now more properly listed as jazz musicians
