OK, since you asked...
... Paul Edis Sextet - Mr Hipster would certainly be a contender
http://lance-bebopspokenhere.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/cd-review-paul-edis-sextet-mr-hipster.html#more
Scusy me picking a Blaydon gig this year but I have to pick Vasilis Xenopoulos with Paul Edis Trio. Brilliant stuff. From what I heard their gig at Opus 4 was fabulous too.
Pat Metheny Unity Group - Manchester
Jazz gig of the year for me, probably - Paul Edis Sextet Mr Hipster @ Sage. Soul gig of the year - Chaka Khan with Incognito @ Hoochie Coochie. Venue(s) of the year - Hoochie Coochie and Pink Lane Jazz Caff.
Some great gigs to choose from this year & I have 2 favourites. Gregory Porter of course… everything’s been said already - fantastic musician & band, & what made it in even more special was the reception they got from the crowd at Hoochie Coochie. Well done Warren for catching them just before GP went stellar, & I bet they enjoyed playing there more than Buckingham Palace. My joint favourite is the Kurt Elling & SNJO gig in Edinburgh a few weeks earlier – the most outstanding vocal performance I have seen, combined with top big band & excellent arrangements. It would be great to see Elling performing at The Sage .
Best wishes for 2015, & thanks for all your efforts
Hi Debra
Your wish has been granted...Kurt Elling (with the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra) will be at Sage Gateshead on Wednesday 20 May!
We've got our tickets!!
