Not a jazz item but Dr. Keith Armstrong, poet extraordinaire, is a jazz fan and is supportive of this site - remember his Chet Baker poem? - he also has another jazz work in the pipeline which will be premiered here so I felt we should draw attention to his forthcoming book launches.

Hi Lance
Something of a tenuous jazz link to Jack Common...he was born at no.44 Third Avenue, Heaton - just round the corner from the Chillingham public house on Chillingham Road! All you Chilli jazzers - next time you're there walk round to no.44 and read the blue plaque on the wall at the front of the house.
