Dear #jazz lawyer. If I get on up when I should have been getting down and jiggy, resulting in a minor back injury, can I make a claim?

Seriously folks, it’s only jazz. Sometimes, it’s barely #jazz. Occasionally it clearly isn’t either…

Scotland’s claim to be the world’s centre of #jazz continues to gather pace this week - thanks, it must be said, to a far-from-Scottish jazz giant.
