Bebop Spoken There

Danny Gatton: "I was tired of playing in beer joints. I wanted to do something tangible like building cars. But once you do music it gets into your blood. You can get away from it for awhile but sooner or later it comes back to you." - (Down Beat April 1991).

Tal Farlow: "There were times when I would stop [playing guitar] and do sign painting." - (Downbeat December 5, 1963)

A full and varied programme for January at the Globe

We’ve got a very full programme of gigs, jams and courses for January. Jazz gigs include the veteran master of jazz piano Alan Glen, the guitar and vibes of Steve Glendinning and Chris Jelly, the bebop horns of the Safe Sextet, the original guitar grooves of the Mark Williams Trio and the vintage jazz of the Vieux Carré Jazzmen.
Other music includes outstanding contemporary folk duo, Freya Rae and Louis Bingham, on Saturday 23 January and mod/ska band The Style Selektors on Saturday 30 January.
Our monthly jam sessions, Am Jam and More Jam, continue on the second and fourth Sundays of each month, 3-6pm and a new (very old) weekly session, Take it to the Bridge, begins on Wednesday 6 January at 8pm.
Our programme of evening classes, Advanced Jazz Guitar and Play More Jazz, starts on Tuesday 19 January.
Check out our What’s On page for all the details.

  1. And I would add that the monthly Folk/Jazz Thursday open mike evening has now morphed into Folk/Acoustic, but of course jazzers are still welcome, as well as musicians of all kinds and creeds. First Thursday of each month at the Globe 8pm.

About this blog - contact details.

Bebop Spoken Here -- Here, being the north-east of England -- centred in the blues heartland of Newcastle and reaching down to the Tees Delta and looking upwards to the Land of the Kilt.
Not a very original title, I know; not even an accurate one as my taste, whilst centred around the music of Bird and Diz, extends in many directions and I listen to everything from King Oliver to Chick Corea and beyond. Not forgetting the Great American Songbook the contents of which has provided the inspiration for much great jazz and quality popular singing for round about a century.
The idea of this blog is for you to share your thoughts and pass on your comments on discs, gigs, jazz - music in general. If you've been to a gig/concert or heard a CD that knocked you sideways please share your views with us. Tell us about your favourites, your memories, your dislikes.
