How notable would you like him to be? He and his trio have played at world famous jazz clubs like Ronnie Scott's in London, the Blue Note in Japan and Birdland in New York. You have to be pretty well known in the jazz world to be invited to appear at any of them. He has been featured in Cadence jazz magazine in the USA and on the BBC website in Britain. He has recorded six albums to date, and been called 'phenomenally accomplished' in The Observer by their well-respected jazz critic, Dave Gelly. All of which are referenced in the article. He's hardly a nobody, and other editors apparently didn't think so when a fact from this article appeared on the Wikipedia front page last month. ♦ Jongleur100 talk 14:50, 19 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
Fair enough. Gonna stick by the Advert tag however, with comments like "almost universal critical acclaim" and "Geoff's regular partners in his own trio have been the brilliant . . ." Bongomatic (talk) 15:21, 19 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
OK. tell me exactly what it is you don't like and I'll take it out. ♦ Jongleur100 talk 16:02, 19 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
