Jazz North East All-Day Jazz Extravaganza @ Bridge Hotel and Jazz Café
(Review/Photos -l/r - by Lance)
A day of many highs and only one low. Set in two venues within walking distance of each other Jazz North East presented 16 different line-ups in an attempt to fill the coffers left bare by the lamentable decision of the "Arts Council" to withdraw funding. The artists gave their services free and it is to be hoped the event was a financial success as well as an artistic one.

Hoochie Highlights
Once again Warren reminds us that he has a bit of jazz in his soul - witness some of the forthcoming events at Hoochie Coochie. The SOLD OUT visit of GREGORY PORTER on March 14 has been well publicised and is surely the North East Jazz Scoop of the year - and without a subsidy in sight! However, that isn't the only one. Seven days earlier, master keyboardist JASON REBELLO, recently heard at Sage Gateshead with Madeleine Peyroux, will be on stage at Hoochie and it will only cost you a "Prez" (a "tenner"!) so put March 7 down in your diary.
