That 'modernists' at Blaydon is a new one on me but funnily enough, Ernie Graham, who comes to BJC often says jokingly; 'There has always been jazz activity in Blaydon'.
I don't know who they were but there is a good chance it involved my dad's younger brother Ron (Scone), a good jazz/club drummer. Ron was involved with the local jazz scene for many years but also worked part time as a club drummer, organised dances, etc. They had a group The Rhythmaires - Norman Fisher accdn/pno, Arthur Stobbs tnr, Arthur Luke tbn - can't remember the others. Just a small dance/jazz band. There was more pure jazz activity at The Railway Tavern in Blaydon (long demolished). That would be in the 50s. Knowing Ron, I think they would have played mainstream leaning to bop styles. Modern might have meant 'not trad'.
When I was a teenager, Uncle Ron tried to get me interested in jazz and to take some formal drum lessons but I had no interest at the time.
