Bebop Spoken There

“Most trumpet players really like attention. I mean that they like to play high, they like to play fast…and they're the best dressers, usually.” - Ambrose Akinmusire (Jazzwise April 2011).

“I don't even remember learning to read music. I could always do it.” - Henry Lowther (Jazzwise July 2011).

June 23 Ray Chester Tribute Concert.

As most of you already know, sadly, Ray passed away in January this year and as a mark of respect and celebration of his music, the band has agreed to perform one final concert with all proceeds going to St Benedict’s Hospice (Monkwearmouth). It is probably, most fitting that this “Tribute Concert” will be at the Customs House, South Shields where Ray has appeared every year since 2007. A memorable and emotional night truly awaits the band’s last captive audience. The event is being recorded and modestly priced copies can be ordered on the night. Tickets available from the Customs House – 0191 4541234 or www.customshouse.co.uk

More info from the Ray Chester website.

Tonight Schmazz @ The Cluny - Kairos 4tet/Big Band @ Ryton/1954 Band @ Customs House

Tonight looks good at the Cluny for the latest Schmazz gig. The Kairos4tet are more accessible than some of the Schmazz offerings and I personally am looking forward to hearing them live. If you're not sure, check them out on MySpace. Click here. Listen to Russell's Resurgence. I don't think this refers to our boy Russell as, as far as I know, he resurged long ago. 8:30 pm.
The Customs House Big Band with Ruth Lambert are charitying at Ryton Comp. School in aid of MS. 7:30 pm £5.
At the Customs House itself in South Shields, the 1954 Band pay tribute to Ken Colyer and Chris Barber.
7:30 is the time to stomp off and it's £10 (£9 conc.) there is also a meal deal at £19 which gives you two food courses plus the concert.

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.
