John Porter, the virtuoso jazz pianist who regularly played at the Eliott Hotel jazz sessions, sadly passed away last week. He was the first jazz pianist to come to play at the jazz sessions organized by George Posso in 1999.
Mr Posso said: “John was a great inspiration for all local musicians, the loss has touched all musicians and friends who knew him.”
