Blowing his own trumpet pays off for jazz man Andy


THE centre of the jazz universe is the next stop

New York is the centre of the world when it comes to jazz music. I couldn’t ask for anything more a t this stage in

course starts in August and now he is waiting for news of his scholarship application. He said i t costs a substantial amount to study a t the school, but there is no way he will


not be attending. At present, his music keeps him more than occupied. He


plays freelance with the Eric Delaney Big Band, travel­ ling around the country, and performs in jazz clubs and theatres. He records session music a t the Peter Waterman studio, in Manchester, and plays with the Northern Jazz Orchestra and the Wigan Youth Jazz Orchestra. Andy cites Maynard Ferguson, Miles Davis, Clifford


Brown and Bobby Shew, who gives him tutorials on his annual trips to Britain, as his main influences.

In the eight years since Pri­ vate Djemal was part of the unit i t has been sta­ tioned in Dover, Germany, Cyprus and Catterick and amalgamations have taken place. We will be in touch with Private Djemal as

He says the Embassy had his address in St George, but never got in to u ch . He obtained his green card, which allowed him to work in the country, and he sold cars for a living. Late last year, his brother contacted him, saying the


police had been in touch and had a warrant for his arrest. Mr Djemal made immediate plans to return home and clear his name, deciding to make a new start at the same time. On his return to this coun­


try, in February, he con­ tacted the Army’s Black­ burn Careers Office, but was soon dismayed, finding himself jailed for two days before being released and being confined to the Clitheroe area. He says the Army said it would contact him shortly, but, two months later, with his £1,200 living expenses spent, he is still waiting for a conclusion to the affair.
