We think that the best UK Jazz Magazine is Jazzwise, run by ex-Edinburgh guitarist Charles Alexander. They also distribute the wonderfully useful Jamey Aebersold Music tuition aids and 'play-along' CDs, for all instruments. Subscribe to the mag (samples are on the bar), and support the UK jazz scene!

While we're talking about learning to play jazz, there are regular Jazz Summer Schools happening in Edinburgh, run by sax player Rob Hall and guitarist Ged Brockie. See details on

Going to London? In our humble opinion, the 606 Club is the best jazz spot in London! Run by our mate Steve Rubie (and a fine sax & flute player he is too!), check this cool venue next time you're in Town (it's near Chelsea Wharf). Plan to go there to eat ö the food's great! www.606club.co.uk
