Bebop Spoken There

Frank Sinatra: "Who is the worst living American? Jake LaMotta. He dumped the fight against Billy Fox, and never told his father, who bet his life savings on Jake. Lower than whale shit." - (John Brady: Frank & Ava In Love and War - Thomas Dunne Books 2015). A 1970 quote from a Pete Hamill interview.

Dave Rempis: “Ten years from now, I can see musicians streaming concerts in real time and charging a minimal amount for people to watch.” - (DownBeat September 2013)

Joe Stilgoe @ Hoochie Coochie - Mini Preview

Michael Lamb, Strictly Smokin' Big Band, and Hoochie Coochie are never short of ideas when it comes to pulling off a coup. This latest one may be their best so far.
I heard Joe Stilgoe with Claire Martin at Sage Gateshead and was impressed. I tried to pick up a ticket for one of his gigs at the London EFG Jazz Festival around the same time but, left it too late as it was sold out well in advance. My feeling is it could go the same way at Hoochie on Sunday, October 15 when pianist/singer Stilgoe joins the band for what is sure to be a gotta be there occasion.
Tickets are available now. Don't procrastinate.
Lance.
