Joanna in New York


Not much happening today - Jam at the Globe was too early for me - then, Flash! Bang! Alakazam! Joanna Wallfisch tweeted details of her forth coming album Gardens in my Mind. 
I think this video, of a track from her new album - Anonymous Journey's - is rather special. 
I met Joanna a couple of times at the Spice of Life in Soho and I'm delighted that she's now well established on the New York scene. The CD is set for release early next year and will, hopefully, be reviewed here.
Lance.
PS: I'm also glad she  remembered me!

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.
