Claude Loxhay, one of the founders of JazzMania, passed away.

Claude Loxhay died on 2 November 2023. A "passionate spreader of the blue note", as Yves Tassin, founder and editor-in-chief of JazzMania, describes him.

This Roman philology graduate fell in love with jazz at a Louis Armstrong concert at the Forum in Liège. This passion never left him. He has contributed columns to Jazz in Time, JazzAround, Jazz'Halo and finally JazzMania, which he founded with Yves Tassin.
