Welcome to the Autumn 2023 update of the VJM website!

We present three featured articles in this issue. Nick Dellow tells the story of trumpeter Bill Moore, pictured on our cover, who was of mixed-race. He played and recorded with the “California Ramblers” and others in his day.

Bixography (www.bixography.com) founder and authority on all things related to the great Bix Beiderbecke, Albert Haim sends another tune “biography” with an interesting survey of the Donald Heywood and Will Marion Cook's standard I'm Coming Virginia, putting the piece in context.

We have all the regular features as always - Colin Hancock continues with more interesting Ramblings, so please be sure to contact him with any ramblings you wish to raise or responses! The Ramblings online will be updated soon.

Our Reviews section this issue offers informative and incisive analysis of the latest issues in sound and print, physical and digital. For a selection online, see the Reviews page, and the Wants page continues to help hot collectors with their junking!

See our VJM’s Famous Record Auctions there we have another fantastic offering of mouthwatering Jazz and Blues 78s, LPs, books and other goodies!
