"When drummer Tony Levin died early last year, he was mourned by musicians across the whole of the jazzspectrum, and a memorial concert in his honour brought together a host of leading players from the UK and Europe. This quartet was specially assembled for that concert, and proved to be such an inspired grouping that the four members decided to reassemble for a short UK tour, and it’s great news that Jazz North East have grabbed them for this Central Bar gig." - Jazz Alert.

Sting and the Phoenix Jazzmen (now).

Gordon Solomon sent me this photo of a get together of former members of the Phoenix Jazzmen.
(l-r): Ronnie Young (tpt), Gordon Solomon (tmb), Sting (bs), John Hedley (gtr).
Sting has been in the area recording at Durham Cathedral, taking a passive part in the Great North Run and meeting up with the Phoenix Survivers.
