Jez has been the Editor of Sound+Image magazine since 2006, having left his UK homeland to enjoy the more favourable climes of Australia. Prior to his desertion he was Editor of the UK's Stuff magazine, before that Editor of What Hi-Fi? magazine, and before that of 'Audiophile' and Electronics Today International. He makes music as well as enjoying it, is alarmingly wedded to the belief that Led Zeppelin remains the highest point of rock'n'roll yet attained, though remaining willing to assess modern pretenders. He lives in a modest shack on Sydney's Northern Beaches with his Canadian wife Deanna and an assortment of changing wildlife under care. If you're seeking his articles by clicking this profile, you'll see far more of them by switching to the Australian version of WHF.
