A not
infrequent visitor from Edinburgh, Nick Gould never fails to make a favourable
impression at Newcastle's Black Swan jam sessions with his swinging tenor
saxophone playing. If the local gun slingers are in town it makes for an
entertaining, good natured saxophone joust. Occasionally Gould brings his JazzMain
quartet to Tyneside to play a gig and the next opportunity to hear the outfit
is two weeks tomorrow (Sunday 19).
Four affable guys from north of the border,
JazzMain cover the swinging standards to bop Firth of Forth waterfront. Of late
Nick and the boys have been Diggin' Dexter (at last year's Edinburgh Fringe the
quartet played a storming set of tunes associated with Dexter Gordon).
Accomplished pianist Steve Grossart impresses every time and the bass and drums
pairing of Iain Harkness and Kevin Dorrian is as dependable as any.
Doors open
at the Jazz Co-op's Railway Street premises at 7:30pm, admission £10 (£7
student), Sunday 19 January.
