At this year’s Gateshead
International Jazz Festival Paul Edis, Paul Susans and Rob Walker took to the
Jazz Line-Up stage on the concourse at Sage Gateshead. The trio – Triptych –
played to a large audience of festival goers and the occasion was recorded for
future broadcast. It’s taken six months, but the wait is over. Tomorrow,
Saturday 30th, Triptych’s set can be heard on BBC Radio 3’s Jazz Line-Up programme at 5:00pm. Triptych's set actually starts approximately 41 mins in featuring part of Dr Gonzo's and Fragment Reprise/Dark Ages/Fragment Finale. Prior to this, there are pieces from Miles Mosley's festival gig as well as a track from the Gareth Lochrane Big Band's recent CD - Fistfight at the Barn Dance - and one from Nat Steele's tribute to the MJQ.
