Help out a stupid Yank here....What's Manifesto? (besides a song title)? Something like Waxpoetics?

It's a magazine published (quarterly I think) in the UK.

Hi Kris.Jazz mags have a slightly different meaning over here.Even if you're using them for research.

Hi Kris.Jazz mags have a slightly different meaning over here.Even if you're using them for research.

this i did not know.

I've been reading some old UK Jazz Music mags from the 40s & 50s which have some pretty outlandish claims in them which the clarity of time has debunked. Just made me chuckle to then pick up Manifesto & see that statement

i was keen for the jazz mags until the internet came along....

...The P in Huey P Meaux' name stood for Pervis.

Or 'Perv' for short.

Given the sordid and well-documented circumstances behind Huey's 1990s downfall and incarceration it's hard to imagine a more appropriate abbreviation, really...

...but for all the nastiness in his personal life Huey was a world class talent spotter and producer and we have much to thank him for as a record man.
