Bebop Spoken There

Anat Cohen: "With the tenor, it's so iconic with jazz. With the clarinet, I can improvise, but it doesn't have to be called jazz." - (DownBeat July 2019)

Preview: Five Blind Boys of Alabama @ Sage Gateshead May 25.

This Sunday (May. 25) Sage Gateshead offers a rare treat in the form of a concert by the legendary Five Blind Boys of Alabama.
The five time Grammy Award winning gospel group have been going for 70 years and still include two original members - Jimmy Carter and Clarence Fountain although the latter may be missing this tour due to ill-health.
Throughout the decades their music has always kept up with trends incorporating material by, or working with, artists such as Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Les McCann, Preservation Hall, the Hot 8 Brass Band and many many more.
Described elsewhere as a roof-raising experience, I doubt anyone will argue!
More biographical info here.
Listen to their version of Way down in the Hole.
