(Press release)The new Newcastle Jazz Festival debuts its festival in a day this summer and is excited to present in its first programme the best of the North East’s current jazz scene in partnership with Tyne Bank Brewery.

This new festival exists to feature north-east musicians and their projects – a real jazz festival for the area celebrating the region's talent alongside national artists.
2014 BBC Young Jazz Musician of the year, and north-east local, Alexander Bone, will be headlining the festival with a set of original compositions and his own take on jazz standards on Saturday 17th August. He has led his own bands playing original music at venues & festivals across the UK & Europe including London Jazz Festival, Ronnie Scott's, Jazzwise Festival, Manchester Jazz Festival & London Saxophone Festival; as well as headlining alongside artists including Gwilym Simcock, Bob Reynolds & YolanDa Brown.
We’re excited to be working with Tyne Bank Brewery in their brilliant space which will house the entire festival under one roof. Food will be provided throughout the day by Newcastle vendors Cheese Sir and Il Fuoco Pizza.
