Secondwind specialises in wind and brass music and takes as much care over the music it stocks as it does its instruments, having a particular interest in jazz publications.
Mike and Debbie Sallis are leading jazz educationalists. As well as being instrumental teachers for Gloucestershire Music they have a wealth of experience in running jazz workshops and have set up Gloucestershire’s premier jazz centre - Jazz Live. Jazz Live includes the Gloucestershire Youth Jazz Orchestra, which all young “jazzers” in the County aspire to be a part of, and the Jazz Live Big Band was completely sold out at the Cheltenham International Jazz Festival 2007.
