Maine Street Jazzmen @ Rosie's (Rosie Malone's, South Shields.) - Episode 65.

Olive Rudd (vcl), Herbie Hudson (tmb/hca/vcl), Jim McBriarty (clt), Malcolm Armstrong (pno), Alan Rudd (bs), Mike Humble (dms).
There are times - when Herbie blows harp - that these boys are just about as good a Blues Band as they are a Dixieland outfit. Such a time was on See See Rider when Herbie stretched his Hohner 270 to the limits. On the same number, he did similar things to his vocal chords backed up by Mr Barrel-house himself Malcolm Armstrong. Jim blew some gutsy clarinet but this was one number where he should have had his tenor sax in the back pocket.
Olive Shimmied like her Sister Kate and it wasn't wishful thinking. But Jeepers Creepers! She's Locked Her Heart and Threw Away the Key again. You've got the picture - another good day at the office.

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.

Submissions for review

Whilst we appreciate the many emails, texts, messages and other communications we receive requesting album/gig reviews on BSH, regrettably, we are unable to reply to all of them other than those we are able to answer with a positive response.
Similarly, CDs received by post will only be considered if accompanied by sufficient background material.
Finally, bear in mind that this is a jazz-based site when submitting your album.
