Press release from the Saltburn Big Band
The Olivia Cuttill Quintet @ King's Hall, Newcastle University - Oct. 17
Anonymous |
When I took my seat in the King's Hall Recital Room in Newcastle University for a 45 minute lunchtime concert little did I think I was about to witness one of the 'Gig of the Year' contenders. After all, there's some mega names in the running already - and the opening number, Isabella, did nothing to change things. Don't get me wrong, it was fine, Cuttill displaying a big round sound on an interesting composition but the (musical) Earth didn't move for me.

Album review: Al Jarreau & NDR Bigband - Ellington (ACT)
I've heard Ellington performed in every which way including loose but never quite like this! Some purists might class it as sacrilege - I almost did. However, the trick I found is to forget every bar of Ellingtonia you've ever heard and treat it like you're hearing it for the very first time. Judging by the applause I guess that's what the enthusiastic audience did.......and so did I!
The Black Swan jam session - Oct. 15
R.I.P. Malcolm Armstrong.
Over the years, Malcolm played with many local bands including the River City Jazzmen, the Maine St. Jazzmen and Rendezvous Jazz.
He was also accompanist for Ponteland Ladies Choir.
I remember him well from the Breda Jazz Festival back in the 1980s where he was part of the award winning River City Jazzmen (see photo).
A fine pianist who will be sadly missed. Lance

Shellac (M2): Jimmy McPartland & his Orchestra - Daughter of Sister Kate/In a Mist (Harmony)
Press release: Trailer Released For The Record Store Project Documentary: Exploring The Cultural Impact Of The Uk Record Store & Black Music
“A lot of us (DJs) kind of started at the same time and we all kind of grew together. Some I would just see in the record shops fighting over records or whatever. Hustling to try and get the latest import - actually, we don't have that anymore. I miss that. We don't have that kind of community where you just hang out and chill. Like I could spend hours in the record shop just chilling - there was a certain happiness, like a joviality to just being in as a punter and seeing certain regulars coming in again. I'd never thought of it like that before, but they were actually really good meeting hubs.” WAYNE C MCDONALD Newcastle

Album review: Nick Tomalin Quintet - Shades of Shearing
Sunday night @ the Globe - Dulcie May Moreno - Oct. 13
© Patti/Sylvia |
Across the road in the aircraft hanger known as the Utilita Arena, Becky Hill was feeding the 10,700. In the Globe Dulcie May Moreno was preaching to a lesser congregation. In a perfect world the situation would have been reversed. At least nobody in the Globe needed medical attention.
Dulcie is a regular visitor to the area (she was born here) and never fails to captivate an audience as was proved last night.
