Bebop Spoken There

“I've been approached so many times to write a book. I've got a gazillion stories, but I don't think I'm going to tell them because I have a lot of skeletons in my closet." - Dee Dee Bridgewater (Jazz Times May 2013)
-----
"Before he (Mingus) died he said, 'I'll probably be reincarnated as an unknown cello player playing Bach, Beethoven and Mingus' ." - Sue Mingus (Downbeat January 1997.)

NCRO - Tonight at GOTH

Tonight's highlight is the annual concert at Gateshead Old Town Hall by the New Century Ragtime Orchestra with guests Keith Nichols on piano and Nick Ward at the 'traps'.
Vocals by Caroline Irwin help to recreate the hot dance music of the 1930s whilst Steve Andrews comperes and blows some beefy tenor.
Retro it may be but it's so beautifully done few can complain.
Dust off your high button shoes and Turkey Trot along to the Town Hall.
Recommended.

  1. How fortunate you are up there Lance, nothing like that here in the York area. I would just love to be going to such an evening's entertainment. I'll say this for the folks of the North East, they know how to enjoy themselves

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.
