Despite
“Clodagh” spitting and howling like a banshee outside, the Gala Big Band were
welcomed by a full house (120+) and proceeded to blow up a storm of their own!
Despite this being, I think, only their third public concert, they entertained
the audience so successfully that when the applause had died down their
departure into the inhospitable storm (Silver Street was like a wind-tunnel!)
was accompanied by much animated chat (“I haven’t seen these before – why have
I never seen these before?”) and a protective warm glow inside. Very seasonal!

Bebop Spoken There
Clare Teal: "If you're brought up in a working-class family, you haven't got money for records so everything you get hold of, you treasure, learn to love, and I loved those Ella tapes." - (Radio Times 23-29 January 2021)

The Things They Say!
Hudson Music: Lance's "Bebop Spoken Here" is one of the heaviest and most influential jazz blogs in the UK.
Rupert Burley (Dynamic Agency): "BSH just goes from strength to strength".

CD Review: Thomas Maintz/Aaron Parks - Duets in June

(Review by Lance).
A duo disc drifts in from Denmark. Deliberative, delving, neither duelling nor dynamic and yet, delightfully delicious. To quote Cole Porter - D'lovely!
Not that Porter or any other songwriters are represented here. All ten compositions are by Maintz with Parks sharing the honours on one of them.
Jazz Co-op @ The Globe: The Budtones – Nov. 28

(Review by Ann Alex).
The
set began with a boppy quirky tune - The
Message, saxes in joyful harmony, solos all round, fours, culminating with
a very long sax note from Fiona, who then said something about circular
breathing. I guess Fi, as a
physiotherapist, must know something about breath control, and this note
certainly showed that she can breathe!

Pete Gilligan/Chris Jelly Duo @ the Jazz Café - Nov. 28


Pete Gilligan (pno); Chris Jelly (vbs).
(Review, b&w photo, by Lance/colour photo courtesy of Mike Tilley).There have been many Saturday night duo sets at the Jazz Café - some worked well and some not so well. This surprise pairing was most deffo of the former variety - Gilligan and Jelly, gelled.
After an opening Blues in F to warm-up (and with the weather outside we all needed warming up!) the temperature rose by the note. Sonora, by Hampton Hawes, is a longtime Gilligan favourite and I guess it's now one of Jelly's.

Manjula @ The Jazz Café – Nov.27

(Review by Russell/Photos
courtesy of Mike Tilley).
Leeds College of Music has cultivated many fine
musicians. Many of them find their way to Newcastle to play a gig. At the Jazz
Café a new voice captivated the audience. Vanessa Rani possesses a fabulous
voice, she’s a natural talent. Working with Ms Rani in the band Manjula are
three top notch musicians; percussionist (and reassuring presence) Sam Bell,
bassist Simon Read (himself leading a band at a young age) and guitarist Joe
Harris.
Keith Morris CD/DVD Launch @ The Jazz Café – Nov 27
An early evening gathering at the Jazz Café was
entertained by an opening half hour set by Tango Zapatito. Cello and accordion
played as if at a literary salon; music secondary to the greeting, the embrace,
the convivial catch-up conversation. They were there for a low-key CD/DVD
launch. The late Keith Morris, musician, educator and promoter, was remembered
at a concert earlier in the year at Gateshead Old Town Hall. The event was
recorded and has now been made available as a CD or DVD to add to your
collection. A cast list as long as a slide trombone gave their services at the
Gateshead commemorative event including some notable jazz names (Lewis Watson,
Neil Harland and Rob Walker to name but three). Archive material – both stills
and moving image – filled the screen at the Jazz Café. The memory of Keith
Morris will live on.

Belatedly discovering Philip Larkin


I make no apology for devoting so much space to the late writer and Commander of Honour's quips and observations, Larkin is simply the most humorous of jazz writers and, at times, one of the most perceptive.
Sinatraland - Sage Gateshead. Nov. 26

Didn't get the full personnel, it differed from anticipated line-up.
(Review by Lance).
Has the Sinatra Centenary bubble finally burst? judging by last night's poor turn out it may well have. Not surprising as it has been running in one form or another throughout the world since January in halls large and small and it's now almost December in one of the biggest halls of all!*
Claire Martin did the announcing and provided the highlight of the evening with as emotive a reading of In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning as you will hear anywhere. Accompanied by just guitar and bass this was something I doubt if even Frank could have bettered.

CD Review: Bokani Dyer - World Music.

(Review by Lance).
Botswana born, South African based pianist, Dyer encompasses the many moods of expression that have embraced and influenced him. From Bach to Soul, from Ellington to Mbira music justifying the somewhat ambiguous album title of World Music.
Tonight @ Sage Gateshead - Sinatraland
Tonight (Thursday 26 November) the BBC Big Band along with three of today’s leading jazz vocalists; Liane Carroll, Claire Martin and Ian Shaw perform a unique musical tribute to the 20th Century’s greatest interpreter of popular song at Sage Gateshead.
In a career spanning 60 years Frank Sinatra set the standards, defined and in many cases redefined ‘the great American songbook’. From his early days with the swing era big bands of Harry James and Tommy Dorsey to his sold out stadium tours of the 70’s and 80’s, Ol’ Blue Eyes laid down the musical route that his contemporaries would follow, and in the process created a unique sound and style which remains hugely influential in today’s world of music.

Inner Space Music @ the Jazz Café - Nov. 24.
(Review by Steve H)
Yet another superb gig at the Jazz Cafe on
Tuesday night; it was Loz Speyer’s Inner Space Music who were the purveyors of
this fine fayre. The make up of the band is slightly unconventional with two reeds
players and a trumpet. This combination gives a somewhat hard edged feel to
parts of the music but some of the harmonies conjured up were simply sublime.
LINE-UP REVEALED FOR GATESHEAD INTERNATIONAL JAZZ FESTIVAL 2016
Gateshead International Jazz Festival is back! As always there’s the
best of the UK, European and International jazz scene, hotly-tipped emerging
talent and exciting cross genre artists with a programme that truly brings
something for everyone. The festival, the UK’s biggest held under one roof,
runs from Friday 15 – Sunday 17 April 2016 at Sage Gateshead.
We’re proud to welcome back GRAMMY award-winning singer Gregory
Porter after his sell out show last year to open this year’s
festival. Saturday night’s stellar double bill opens with leading British
saxophonist and festival favourite Courtney Pine with fellow
Mercury nominee and MOBO award winning pianist, Zoe Rahman who
play the music from their acclaimed album Song (The Ballad Book).
In contrast, trumpeter, composer (renowned for his work on Spike Lee’s movies),
and former member of Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers Terence Blanchard brings
his new quintet, the E-Collective, in a powerful fusion of funk, R&B and
rock.
CD Review: Steve Fishwick/Osian Roberts/Frank Basile Sextet - In The Empire State.

(Review by Lance).
The CDs drop through the letterbox daily. Sometimes my eyes light up with delight but, more often than not, I groan and wonder, wtf will I make of this!
I'm pleased to say that this album is very much in the former category. In fact it epitomises what this site was primarily aimed at - bebop in the new millennium. Recorded in New York last year after the Fishwick Bros and Roberts, along with New Yorkers Basile, Patton and Karn played several gigs in the Big Apple as part of Dave Douglas' Festival of New Trumpet.
What a richly deserved accolade for Steve who isn't always given his due as one of the UK's finest jazz trumpet players.

CD Review: Malija – The Day I Had Everything

(Review by Russell)
Malija comprises three familiar names on the
contemporary European jazz scene; Mark Lockheart (Loose Tubes, Polar Bear),
Liam Noble (Julian Siegel, Bobby Wellins, Tom Rainey) and Jasper Høiby (Julia
Biel, Phronesis). The reeds, piano and double bass trio began their enduring
working relationship in 2009 recording, and subsequently touring, Lockheart’s In Deep CD project. The Day I Had Everything is, according to Lockheart: about many musical things…to me this is
London jazz music, distinct and different from the American sound.
Gerry Richardson's Big Idea @ Hoochie Coochie - Nov. 22

Gerry Richardson (vcls/Hammond SK2); Rod Sinclair (gtr); Sue Ferris (fl/ten/bar); Garry Linsley (fl/ten/bar); Stuart Johnson (ten/sop); Dave Hignett/Mark Webb (tpt); David Gray (tmb); Paul Smith (dms).
(Review by Lance).
The turnout's good, the music's great, what's not to like? Answer - nothing! This is more than just a nostalgia trip even though 3 years have passed since their last gig. I'm surprised it hasn't been longer! each and everyone is gigging here, there, and teaching everywhere which is good. If you want to learn, this is the place - all possessed of the knowledge.
Hoochie's also a good place to learn to drink or, if you already have, to consolidate that knowledge,

Mesmeric Metamorphic Rolls with Røyst @ Newcastle Jazz Cafe - November 20

Røyst Trio Kari Bleivik, Ceceilie Giskamo , Maria
Jardardotti (voices)
(Review by Steve H/Photo courtesy of Mike Tilley).
The collaboration of Laura Cole’s Metamorphic and Norwegian a capella
trio Røyst really rocked Newcastle’s go to place for jazz on a Friday night. This
night began with short sets from each band: a very folksy a capella offering
from the Nordic trio, and a gutsy couple from the octet - the highlight being a
wonderful improvised non-lexical vocal from Kerry Andrew.
Maciek Pysz Trio @ The Globe Jazz Bar - Nov. 22
Maciek Pysz (gtrs); Yuri Goloubev (bs); Asaf Sirkis (dms).
(Review by Lance/Photos courtesy of Ken Drew).
(Review by Lance/Photos courtesy of Ken Drew).
Newcastle United lost 3-0 to Leicester City but, the big losers in Newcastle on Saturday were those who weren't at the Globe Jazz Bar for what could be the gig of the year, musicwise, for the Jazz Coop.
Maciek Pysz, an original and outstanding Polish guitarist, the legendary Asaf Sirkis, who must be ranked among the best kit-men anywhere, and Yuri Goloubev - a bassist of great dexterity. This was the real deal and how sad that so few made the effort.

Paul Edis - Not Like Me / Just Like Me Album Launch @ The Lit & Phil. Nov. 19
(Review by Jerry)
I
have always found it difficult reviewing gigs involving my son and have usually
sought to deflect accusations of bias by ensuring that most of my comments
focus on other performers in the band or at the microphone. A solo concert
affords no hiding place! However, consanguinity should be no barrier to plain
speaking so here’s a fact: that I am biased does not mean that Paul is not
brilliant. He is: the gig was and the double CD will be! (I have still not
heard it all on disc and look forward to seeing it reviewed by impartial listeners on this blog and
elsewhere). Paul, being (in the words of another audience member) “so
self-effacing”, will probably be mortified by the foregoing parental effusion
but no matter – all three of our children are familiar with the old saying:
“You can choose your friends but….”
CD Review: Jacob Varmus Septet - Aegean.

(Review by Lance).
Greek born, New York jazz educator Varmus, is equally at home in both a jazz and a classical setting having played Carnegie Hall wearing both hats (on different occasions).
No doubt about which hat he's wearing here. A jazzy fedora I guess! Although the music leans towards the more contemporary end of the spectrum, the trumpet player maintains a sense of lyricism even when Assadullahi is 'going off on one' as he does on occasion.

2 million not out!
To mark passing the two million page views I looked back to the early days of BSH and, although I cringed at some of my own postings, this one from Roly back in 2008 I thought was worth reprising -"I've come to the conclusion that the bass player is the most important guy in the band! A good bass can make ordinary players play their best. A poor bass can make good players seem ordinary. " - Roly Veitch.
Words of wisdom that still stand (providing they don't take too many long solos!)Lance.
CD Review: Peter Ehwald - Double Trouble Live.
Peter
Ehwald (Tenor/Soprano); Robert Landfermann, Andreas Lang Jonas (Double Basses);
Jonas Burgwinkel – Drums.
This live quartet album is somewhat different in that it features two
double bass players (does that make it a quadruple bass?). I can’t say it adds
to the overall listening experience to be honest, but I’m sure those present at
the recording would have appreciated the novelty of the 8 strings. In the main
this album is a vehicle for Ehwald’s compositions. His sax playing on both
tenor and soprano is well supported by the double double bass players and I
detected some very fine work by drummer Burgwinkel which I guess makes me a bit
of a winkelpicker. Ehwald is indeed a very fine player and in this format
plays in a very free and uncompromising manner. Not easy listening but well worth a concentrated
listen.

CD Review: Maciek Pysz - A Journey

A reminder of tomorrow night at The Globe.
Maciek Pysz (gtr); Daniele di Bonaventura (bandoneon/pno); Yuri Goloubev (bs); Asaf Sirkis (dms).
(Review by Lance).
If this record is anything to go by, every guitar enthusiast in the north east will be heading for the Globe Jazz Bar, Newcastle, on Saturday Nov. 21 when the Jazz Coop present the outstanding Polish guitarist Maciek Pysz in concert. This is a major coup for the Coop and I can't visualise anyone wanting to miss it. If you can't make it (like you're in jail or on an Antarctic expedition) then this album is a good substitute for the real thing. But, be warned, once you've played it you'll want to be there anyway!
Jo Lawry and Will Vinson @ Sage Gateshead.

(Review by Lance),
The game was afoot tonight, ne'er a square inch of space at any of the bars! The main attraction was Ralph McTell in Hall One. Across the great divide there was also a quorum for Mercury Rev in Hall Two. Sandwiched in between, in the Northern Rock Foundation Hall, was Jo Lawry and Will Vinson.
This was the one for those who'd made the near impossible choice of choosing between the Lit and Phil for Paul Edis' solo CD launch, the Stronger Jazz Voices gig at the Globe or this remarkable duo.
You want stronger jazz voices? You got it tonight with Jo Lawry although, it has to be said, the jazz content wasn't high. But, when it was, move over you gals on the ladder, you've still got a long way to go,

DVD Review: Frank Sinatra at The Royal Festival Hall - June 1, 1962

(Review by Ann Alex)
They
say ‘better late than never’ but 53 years is a bit much! I’d better explain, otherwise I’ll be sacked
from BSH and replaced by Daphne. I found out about this concert when I was on a
Frank Sinatra themed holiday recently.
It seems it was broadcast on television, then the tape was lost because
of changes among various television companies.
The tape was rediscovered in 2014 after some clever research done by a
friend of the tutor who led the holiday, and it is now on general release as a
DVD.

Jazz Café Jam Session Nov. 17
(Review by Lance).
At first it looked like no one was there then, suddenly, everyone was there! The usual suspects and a few not so usual. As usual the house trio got things moving with, I think, A Weaver of Dreams and they were kicking ass from the first bar and this was just the start of another memorable evening!
Time Remembered and Senor Blues followed before 'Bradders' joined the mix for A Foggy Day and a Michel Petrucciani number the title of which escapes me. The young guitarist's resolution of the closing bars on the former was masterly whilst the latter, a brisk Latin piece, saw all four take it round the block a few times.

Keith Stephen’s Hot Club Trio with Caroline Irwin @ The Black Bull, Blaydon – Nov 15

(Review by Russell).
Friends of Blaydon Jazz Club for many a year, Keith
Stephen’s Hot Club Trio made a welcome return to the Black Bull. Club regulars
made the effort on a surprisingly mild evening for the time of year. The
undemonstrative Stephen spoke reluctantly. Caroline Irwin – his other half –
cajoled him into making announcements, which he duly did. An unsung guitarist
and fine exponent of the Hot Club idiom, Stephen led his trio through two sets
of classic material with several vocal numbers from the ‘lovely Caroline’.

Voshtina & Williams @ The Jazz Café – Nov.14
(Review by Russell)
Late afternoon the last knockings of an Atlantic storm
lashed Tyneside on its way out to the North Sea. Newcastle’s night time economy
would suffer as a result. Pubs and clubs would be quiet, inner city residents,
for once, would be able to hear themselves think. A case of wishful thinking!
Pubs doing a brisk trade, a Happy Mondays sold out gig at the Academy,
takeaways re-fuelling the sodden and the Jazz Café busy with few seats to be
had.
HOOCHIE COOCHIE.DFDS & JUMPIN HOT CLUB PRESENT....FUNK & SOUL SUNDAY AFTERNOON
Newcastle
is buzzing after the soul and funk weekend trip to Amsterdam on the 13th-15th
November where Smoove and Terrell were joined by the Brand New Heavies and the
Craig Charles Funk and Soul Club on the DFDS mini cruise.
Those who were not able to take the trip will be able to
join the party at Hoochie Coochie on the 15th November for a free funk and soul
Sunday. The day will be hosted by Warren Thomson from Hoochie and from SOSA
Dave Hancock. Special guest will be DJ Smoove from Smoove and Terrell “fresh”
from 48 hours in Amsterdam. The party will run from 11am-4pm and will feature
the finest northern and modern soul, funk and house. It's going to be
some party with revellers from the cruise coming straight to Hoochie Coochie
with tales of their trip to Amsterdam plus a strong contingent of Dutch funk
and soul fans who will be spending the day in Newcastle before returning to
Holland.
Hoochie Coochie will close at 4pm & re-open
@ 5.30pm for a gig by Groove Train, tickets £5.
CD Review: Menno Daams' Unaccounted Four - Playground

(Review by Lance).
A delightful vignette that looks both forwards, backwards and maybe even sideways! Daams and his fellow Dutchmen have taken some Dixie standards a few gassers and some originals and given the tired old warhorses the kiss of life"!
Daams, who featured heavily at last weekend's Mike Durham's Whitley Bay Classic Jazz Party is heard here in perhaps a different setting. I say perhaps because it's difficult to pigeonhole this in any category other than brilliant!

CD Review: National Youth Jazz Orchestra - NYJO FIFTY

Blind Monk @ The Jazz Café - Nov. 13

Bob Whittaker (ten); Hugo Harrison (bs); Johnny Hunter (dms).
(Review/bw photo by Lance/Colour photos courtesy of Mike Tilley).
Friday the 13th, unlucky for some, but not for those at the Jazz Café last night where the lads from Liverpool, the Blind Monk Trio, pleased all but the most discerning ears. Tenor/bass/drums trios are becoming more and more the norm these days both here, in Europe and New York and, with the absence of guitar or keyboard, allows the saxophonist a freer hand, carte blanche if you will, to travel where e'er he care to.
This, Whittaker did well only rarely trespassing beyond the bounds of sanity.

Laura Jurd's Dinosaur/Lab Trio @ the Lit and Phil - Nov.12
A Match and Fuse gig

Lab Trio: Bram de Looze
(piano); Anneleen Boehme (double bass); Lander Gyselinck (drums).
(Review by Steve H/Photos courtesy of
Ken Drew).
Laura Jurd has visited Tyneside several times in recent years and on
Wednesday night she returned to the Lit and Phil with an original line up which
had not previously played here before. The band rebranded as Dinosaur proved to
be anything but extinct. The set started off safely and pleasantly with all 4
musicians demonstrating their considerable talents both collectively and
individually.
Laura then introduced a piece she had previously played in
Newcastle with a string quartet whilst also explaining that Conor Chaplin’s
electric bass had somehow got left behind, luckily local hero bass supremo Andy
Champion was able to provide a suitable replacement.

Pilgrim St. Set @ Hoochie Coochie - Nov. 12

(Review by Lance).
I'm running out of superlatives for these guys. What can you say about a band that gets better month by month - particularly when they were something special to begin with!?
Band originals smattered with a couple of contemporary standards. One of this latter category, a Wayne Shorter tune, was dedicated to my humble self. I didn't catch the title but someone suggested that it may have been a reference to the ill-founded rumour of my advancing years. Rubbish! I'll take anyone on at conkers, which just happened to be the name of one of Master Turner's compositions (it may have been Conkers, Conquers or even the Geordie version - Konkas. Whatever, it was a number that kicked up the dust.

CD Review: Alex Merritt Quartet - Anatta.
(Review by Lance).
Four of the younger stalwarts of today's jazz scene (the legendary Williams is young in spirit!) Musicians capable of producing inventive, contemporary, sounds without raising the hackles of those with an ear for a well-turned phrase.
Merritt incorporates the sound of early Stan Getz with the approach of Warne Marsh. He quotes Joe Henderson and Coltrane amongst his influences which isn't a bad place to be. Five of the pieces are originals by Merritt with some quirky titles. Conn Artist which, in an ideal world, if Alex is blowing a Conn tenor, should have every aspiring tenor saxist wanting a Conn (do they still make them?). Justin Time-berlake! - I ask you!
