Bebop Spoken There

Peter Woodford: "I noticed when I went to hear some jazz in a little pub on the outskirts of London the people were really listening. I'm used to guys in bars only interested in making out with their girl friends. Here the idea seems to be to take a girl, enjoy the music, and make out later." - (Crescendo September 1972).

Richard Pite - Boisdale Interview.


Talking to Richard Pite, he of the Ringo Starr proboscis, at the Jazz Party prompted him to send me this link to an interview. The interview is on the Boisdale site which is now very much the home of mainstream jazz in the Metropolis. Reference to the Jazz Festival at Middlesbrough back in the 1970's is of much local interest - guess the identity of "The Madman"! (No, not me!)
