...and then three come along at once although in this case about six plus!
Down in deepest South Shields The Customs House Big Band with vocals by Ruth Lambert play the second concert of a two nighter at their home base.
At the newest jazz venue to emerge - paradoxically one of the oldest buildings in Newcastle - The Vieux Carré Jazzmen bring their brand of New Orleans to the Lit and Phil (Literary and Philosophical Society) for only the second jazz concert to be held within it's venerable confines.
At Darlo Arts Centre The Robert Fowler Quartet should be a must for those who like straight down the middle tenor playing.
In Saltburn The Derek Winter Sunshine Band strut their stuff in the Community Hall whilst at the British Legion Club in West Jesmond vocalist Grace Ellen takes centre stage.
Broadway Melody are at Jazz at the Fell at the British Legion with Mia Webb on vocal.
At Porters on Tynemouth Station there is an intriguingly named combination - Horace Silverman and the White Gardenias.
"Horace" tells us something about them; "Take a musical journey through the sophisticated 30's! Hear the most beautiful melodies elegantly played and exquisitely sung by Josie McDonough. An unforgettable night! The Line up consists of: Guitar/fiddle, Bass, Drums, Accordion/Banjo, Saxophone/clarinet and ukelele with Female singer with harmony vocals. Our range of music is from the pens of George Gershwin, Irving Berlin, Hoagy Carmichael, Harry Warren as well as some more ethnic influences. We play our own unique arrangements of jazz and early country standards."
Talk about being spoilt for choice! There's also the Safe Sextet at the Jazz Café and solo dinner jazz at the Cherry Tree - all this on top of the Sage Jazz Festival!
