Paul Jones’ weekly blues programme is essential
listening. This week the Blues Band’s front man paid tribute to Herbie Goins.
An Alexis Korner’s Blues Incorporated version of I Got a Woman
featured two tenor players – Brian Smith and Nigel Stanger. On alto was Ray
Warleigh. Jones remembers meeting Stanger for the first time in 1962.
Post Alexis Korner material included a track of
interest to Tyneside jazz and blues fans. Mike Carr and, John McLaughlin (one
time resident of Whitley Bay) feature on Comin’
Home to You.
Guitarist Norman Beaker, similarly name-checked,
happens to be in Newcastle in three weeks’ time with Chris Farlowe at Newcastle
Labour Club (December 17).
