Bebop Spoken There

Shabaka Hutchings: "I was using social media as a way of alleviating boredom. And actually boredom is necessary for deciding what to do next!" - (DownBeat May 2021)

The Real Ale/Jazz Train

One of the crazier features of the North East in July is the Real Ale/Jazz Train which runs from Newcastle to Carlisle and back, powered by Diesel, Matfen Breweries' Real Ale and the Vieux Carré 4 or Fred Rowe's Railroad Stompers.
Colin Aitchison, over here from Hong Kong, played on one of the journeys and part of the proceedings were posted on YouTube.
Colin is on trumpet, Gavin Lee, clarinet, Brian Bennett, banjo and, I think, Phil Rutherford, sousaphone. 
A good time appeared to be had by all and I'm going to get me some of that Matfen Brewery Beer!
