Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with Liverpool-born, Australian Jazz Saxophonist & Composer Ken Stubbs .. We talked in the Fall of 2020 during the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic about quite a bit .. Like his latest 2019 CD Big Hush .. He became involved with music after being ‘reborn’, after a near death experience. He was 14. It involved a Football ‘Special’ Train, hundreds of inebriated Glasgow Rangers fans, a fire hammer and axe, 2 near fatalities, him jumping from a train travelling at 70 mph, and several broken limbs. It was then that he decided that this was the wrong game for him, and instead followed his other passion, which was the ‘Northern Soul’ music scene. Then it became jazz .. and now a full career. Enjoy ..
