Bebop Spoken There

Peter Woodford: "I noticed when I went to hear some jazz in a little pub on the outskirts of London the people were really listening. I'm used to guys in bars only interested in making out with their girl friends. Here the idea seems to be to take a girl, enjoy the music, and make out later." - (Crescendo September 1972).

Horn Dogs @ The Tyneside Irish Centre Dec. 10

The Horn Dogs at the Irish Centre were excellent. Graham Hardy made me feel at home as I was relief doorman for the night. (I paid my entry fee - as I do at The Elephant). Poor turn out. Unfortunately the audience was about the same size as the band and made up of family and friends. Paul Susans and the percussionists gave it that real New Orleans Swing. I did not realise they had a reed man. He fitted in very sympathetically with the all brass front line.
