Jambone, Sage
Gateshead’s student big band, is heading to this year’s EFG London Jazz
Festival! The Tyneside youth ensemble will be performing at Rich Mix on
Saturday November 21 at 4:45pm. Shepherding the flock of school/college fledglings
will be Dr Paul Edis (representing Sage Gateshead), and composer/arranger/educator
Ben Cottrell doing various beats & pieces. Others on the bill, starting at
three o’clock, include Led Bib.
If you’re in the
Smoke on the day why not go along and show your support? That’s Rich Mix, Bethnal
Green Road, London E1 6LA, Saturday November
21. Tickets: £5.00.
Meanwhile, closer to home, It’s Hats & Gloves Time!
Meanwhile, closer to home, It’s Hats & Gloves Time!
Three togged-up school age musicians pitched up
outside Fenwick’s department store on Northumberland Street, Newcastle,
mid-Saturday morning. Fingerless gloves and woolly hats, a left handed acoustic
guitarist sat between an alto player and a young beat boxer.
Tenderly taken at an admirably slow tempo caught
the ear of your passing Bebop Spoken Here
correspondent. Did they know about Newcastle’s many jam sessions? Blank
looks. Do you know where Central Station
is? They were vaguely aware. Over the
road, there’s a Greggs. Walk up Pink Lane to the Jazz Café. There is a jam
session there on Tuesday at eight o’clock. Why not go along and sit in, play a
couple of tunes? The alto player: Can
I find it on the internet?
Russell.
