10: 200 Miles North
'When people hear the word jazz, they immediately think of Kenny Ball , or people in funny hats with red noses, falling about, not using any music.... but things moved on.' 'It's funny people's attitudes, because it's romantic, sweet, energetic, dirty, sexy, anything you want.'
'I think that just as discotheques became the order of the day, live music will rise again; I think people will demand it.'
A visit to the hot-bed of jazz in the north - Manchester's
Band On The Wall - to meet
Ken, Pete, Ray, Steve and Andy, as they put the shine on their highly polished jazz-funk band New Shoes, and seek a future for their music.
