Bebop Spoken There

George Shearing: "Speaking about Johann Sebastian Bach I think he'd be a real jazzer if he were alive today. I mean any man who has two wives, twenty kids, gets kicked out of the church for being too harmonically radical and drinks beer can't be all wrong can he?" - (Crescendo March 1984.)

Gateshead International Jazz Festival details released.

Although nationwide the current jazz excitement centres around the London Jazz Festival which opens this weekend, up here in the North-east our eyes are already looking towards next year and the 7th Gateshead International Jazz Festival which takes place at The Sage on March 25, 26, 27.
The program has now been officially released and full details can be found on The Sage website.
Too much to list here at this early stage so I'll just say my personal choice will be the Joe Lovano/Kurt Elling concert on the Saturday evening.
The Festival is supported by Gateshead Council, Arts Council England, north east england and SERIOUS.
