Jazz is not just music, it’s a way of life, it’s a way of being, a way of thinking.
-Nina Simone
about me
Live from Cadiz, Spain!
Welcome to Partisans.org.uk, the musings of a lifelong jazz fanatic and his ever-patient wife, now living out our retirement near Cádiz. I’m Peter Harland, a former music teacher, saxophonist (in spirit more than in practice these days), and a man who has spent the better part of his life chasing the perfect sound. My wife, Liz, has been on this wild ride with me for over forty years, rolling her eyes at my endless vinyl collection but always tapping her foot to the good stuff.
