Vinyl review: King Bee - Money Gone

Dave Wilde (ten/bar/fl/vcl); Richard Burns (tpt); Chris Jelly (vbs); Mark Hand (keys); Steve Glendinning (gtr); Dan Brady (bs gtr); Jonathon Marriott (dms).
Anything involving our local funk merchants King Bee is always worthy of a mention. And if you've been to a recent gig you'll surely have heard Money Gone. Well it's now out on a 7" vinyl single - takes me back to my middle age.
The song reflects a Saturday morning after a Friday night out on the toon/town/tiles - sentiments I'm sure many will relate to!
The band chant the lyric and  Steve and Dave blow some funky guitar and tenor respectively with Chris and the other drones making their presence felt.
A word of warning, only 200 copies have been pressed - don't delay, imagine what it will be worth in years come!
Get in on the ground floor!
Lance.

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.

Submissions for review

Whilst we appreciate the many emails, texts, messages and other communications we receive requesting album/gig reviews on BSH, regrettably, we are unable to reply to all of them other than those we are able to answer with a positive response.
Similarly, CDs received by post will only be considered if accompanied by sufficient background material.
Finally, bear in mind that this is a jazz-based site when submitting your album.
