None of our regular reviewers were at the gig last night but, as Ken Drew sent me this magnificent photo, it could not be allowed to go unrecorded.

Zoe did pass comment on Facebook so I will take the liberty of duplicating it here - Lance.

"Tori Freestone Trio last night at Splinter were fantastic. Thank you to all who came and supported this excellent band. This Sunday at Splinter is Nic Svarc Organ Trio. A brilliant band from Leeds. Hope to see you there! www.splinterjazz.co.uk" - Zoe.

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.
Lance (Who wishes it to be known that he is not responsible for postings other than his own and that he's not always responsible for them.)

Contact: lanceliddle@gmail.com I look forward to hearing from you.
