Bebop Spoken There

More from Jazz Monthly:

Jack Cooke: "...neither Giuffre nor Jim Hall are even adequate jazz musicians, they are technically limited, and more importantly, seem unable to improvise logically" - (Review of a JATP concert. Jazz Monthly May 1960)

Michael James: "...if Ellis [Herb] has merits they are definitely not these [fantastic fire and drive]". - (Review of Herb Ellis Meets Jimmy Giuffre (LP). Jazz Monthly May 1960).

Opus 4's 2016 season off to a flying start

Southern correspondent Tony Eales reports a successful start to Opus 4 Jazz Club’s new season at the Traveller’s Rest, Cockerton, Darlington. Scottish tenor man Graeme Wilson reunited with friends Noel Dennis, Paul Edis, Mick Shoulder and Adam Sinclair to play a well-received set to a large turn out at the West Auckland Road hostelry.
February’s concert should draw an equally healthy crowd. Pianist Dean Stockdale makes a welcome return to Opus 4 on Friday 19 February to play a gig with Dave Newton. Yes, two top class pianists, two pianos. In effect, this is a two for the price of one special offer.  
Doors open at eight o’clock for an eight thirty start. Arrive early to secure a seat. In fact, arrive early to make sure you get in!

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.
