GAIETY is a word that is rarely associated with contemporary music – creators and lovers of the art form are often (either in stereotype or reality) stuffy figures, who are well versed in the obscure and musically unfamiliar.
For composer and trombonist Alex Paxton jovial and gay are the words that come to mind.
