Alan Glen Trio @ The Jazz Café. March 29 (second set)

(Photos by Mike Tilley) 
The interval afforded bassist Neil Harland the opportunity to rearrange the furniture. Alan Glen struggled to hear properly during the first set, the sloping ceiling and limited floor space making for a cheek by jowl set-up. Harland repositioned his bass cabinet to the side windows and it appeared to do the trick. Had LL hung around, his second set review would have been no different to the first – top class piano playing supported by two of the best in the business (Harland and drummer Paul Wight). The material every bit as good as the first set, tunes included Four, All Blues, Autumn Leaves and What is This Thing Called Love?

About this blog - contact details.

Bebop Spoken Here -- Here, being the north-east of England -- centred in the blues heartland of Newcastle and reaching down to the Tees Delta and looking upwards to the Land of the Kilt.
Not a very original title, I know; not even an accurate one as my taste, whilst centred around the music of Bird and Diz, extends in many directions and I listen to everything from King Oliver to Chick Corea and beyond. Not forgetting the Great American Songbook the contents of which has provided the inspiration for much great jazz and quality popular singing for round about a century.
The idea of this blog is for you to share your thoughts and pass on your comments on discs, gigs, jazz - music in general. If you've been to a gig/concert or heard a CD that knocked you sideways please share your views with us. Tell us about your favourites, your memories, your dislikes.

Submissions for review

Whilst we appreciate the many emails, texts, messages and other communications we receive requesting album/gig reviews on BSH, regrettably, we are unable to reply to all of them other than those we are able to answer with a positive response.
Similarly, CDs received by post will only be considered if accompanied by sufficient background material.
Finally, bear in mind that this is a jazz-based site when submitting your album.
