Hopefully, this will serve as a memento of a weekend that was blessed by, not only glorious weather but jazz from across the board that, somehow, managed to please just about everyone.
Hats off to Paul Edis and his team - carve their names with pride. Their portraits should be hanging alongside the paintings of the past Presidents and former alumni, that adorn the walls - the same walls that also, for once a year only, display Tony Eales' Jazz Alley collection of memorabilia.
The Saturday previous it was the Newcastle Jazz Festival held in the Tyne Brewery. This weekend it was the majestic splendour of Ushaw College. Worlds apart architecturally but musically, they couldn't have been closer.
