Best Jazz Read of the Year: McPartland v Burton
Night Owl Blues
T.J. Muller's Honky Tonk Jazz Band @ Hoochie Coochie. December 29.
Last Saturday night I was watching the review Café Society Swing in a London theatre. It told the story of the Café Society night club that flourished in New York either side of World War 2. Tonight I was back there, or so it seemed! This was Hoochie's Sunday Night Stomp and it was a delightful and enlightening experience.

A Sad Anniversary.
to be passed. This says much for the charisma of the man. A year on his name is still bandied about - sometimes with reverence other times just the opposite (probably in equal dozes). Whatever, he was a man who touched our hearts in many ways. His funeral and the wake that followed remains my gig of the year - I think it will be a one for all time.

Gilligan, Williams and Forbes December 27 - The Jazz Café
Gig of the Year. David Sanborn & Bob James @ The London Jazz Festival. Barbican, November 16, 2013.
My ticket to the concert was a wild card, a mystery trip as the group were unknown to me. My mind was a blank canvas. By the end of the first piece a rainbow of colour had been painted.
Gala Theatre Update.
February 21: Djangologie.
March 21: Mo Scott Trio.
April 25: James Birkett/Bradley Johnston Jazz Guitar Duo.
All concerts start 1pm. Admission £4.

CD Review: Jamie Taylor's Outside Line Quartet - Introducing Outside Line
However, I should have known better than to almost write it off after a few bars! These guys are from Yorkshire which is almost as good as being from Tyneside and, as the CD progressed, I realised there were no Trolls aboard.
