Snippets from Russell.

One or two snippets of news... Newcastle's City Library is hosting an exhibition of photographic prints by Jimmy Forsyth (documentary photographer par excellence of Newcastle and its citizens of the last half-century). One print of interest to jazz fans is The Royal Arcade, 1960 - clearly visible is the entrance/facade of the Newcastle Jazz Club ! The prints on show are just some of the many images in Mr.Forsyth's new book ''Jimmy Forsyth: Photographs from the 1950s and 1960s''. Published by Newcastle Libraries imprint Tyne Bridge Publishing in association with Tyne & Wear Archives.ISBN 978 185795 132 2. £8.99., paperback. Tuesday's Independent runs an obituary of Eddie Bo (New Orleans jazz & blues pianist). Djangology's gig this Thursday at Hexham's Queen's Hall is a sell-out !

About this blog - contact details.
Bebop Spoken Here -- Here, being the north-east of England -- centred in the blues heartland of Newcastle and reaching down to the Tees Delta and looking upwards to the Land of the Kilt.
Not a very original title, I know; not even an accurate one as my taste, whilst centred around the music of Bird and Diz, extends in many directions and I listen to everything from King Oliver to Chick Corea and beyond. Not forgetting the Great American Songbook the contents of which has provided the inspiration for much great jazz and quality popular singing for round about a century.
The idea of this blog is for you to share your thoughts and pass on your comments on discs, gigs, jazz - music in general. If you've been to a gig/concert or heard a CD that knocked you sideways please share your views with us. Tell us about your favourites, your memories, your dislikes.
