Send us a textDidn't you used to be Tom Scott?In this episode we talk about  the relationship of fame/commercial success and Jazz. During May 2024 several Jazz musicians have died David Sanborn, Bill Holman and Palle Danielsson.  We start from the newsworthyness of these deaths. We chose the title “ Didn’t you used to be Tom Scott” based on a shared reminiscence of a comedian saying someone came up to them and Said “ Didn’t you used to be…” illustrating the point that “ if a tree falls in the forest…”  or if you have been in the public eye and are no longer in the public eye do you exist. How do Jazz musicians fit into this? Is it jazz if it’s popular.  To be clear Ton Scott is [ at time of writing] very much alive.  he was very well known  in the 70’s and arguably less so today and seemed like the type of musician some might not know if he is still about. He actually has a brilliant podcast himself So Tom we hope we haven’t offended you This is our website This is our InstagramThis is our Facebook group
