Jamie Cullum @ The Proms

Just in case you missed it or like me forgot about it you can catch Jamie's Prom Concert from last night at the Albert Hall.
Thanks to Russell for initially drawing it to my attention, Liz for reminding me and John T for providing the link to catch up.
I know it's fashionable not to like Jamie - Dave Brubeck suffered the same cold shoulder. Their crime was being successful in reaching an audience beyond the boundaries of the pub back room.
Check Jamie out here - he has a surprise guest late on.

  1. Lovely surprise to see/hear Martin Taylor and that great number "Blame it on my youth"

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.
