Although disappointed at not being among the action what I did hear sounded good - indeed my fellow scribe, Russell, considered this the best ever Tuesday Jam at the Pink Lane Hot House and he could well be right.
A welcome return to Newcastle by Claire Kelly whose travels read like a catalogue of the Crosby/Hope Road films and she did look a bit like Dorothy Lamour and sung even better!
Guitarists Tom Lapworth and Bradley Johnston created a first when their version of Loverman brought the room to almost complete silence - almost!
So many musicians in tonight they were queing round the block to blow (or maybe it was for a smoke!)
If you think our policemen are getting younger - they're old men compared to the current crop of jazz musicians sprouting up!
A superb evening.
Next Jam is on March 3 but don't miss Tom Green Sextet next week.
