Bebop Spoken There

More from Jazz Monthly:

John Postgate: "Oscar Peterson played a good solo in 1954..." - (Jazz Monthly August 1960)

Bill Evans: "A composer writes something, and an orchestra interprets it--he spends maybe six months writing 10 minutes of music, but a jazz musician spends 10 minutes of playing 10 minutes of music, and he performs it himself". - (Jazz Monthly July1960).

Identity Parade

This photo is of a session that took place at the Rising Sun pub, Wallsend, in April 1981. 
Pictureed (left to right) are: Ian Stronach (guitar); Tony Coe (looking out of the window); John Stevens (drums); unknown trumpet and bass guitar; Ian Carr (flugel); Unknown keyboard player.
John Etheridge was present (guitar headstock to the left of the picture) also Nigel and Germaine Stanger and, no doubt, others.
Can anyone help me identify the three unknowns and how they came to be playing at the Rising Sun?
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.
