(Press release)
Ahead of Gateshead Jazz festival, which takes place at Sage Gateshead between 20 and 22 March, we caught up with Yazz Ahmed, Bex Burch (of Vula Viel), Binker Golding, Nikki Yeoh, Shri and Paul Edis (of Triptych) who all answered some Q&As for us ahead of their performances at the festival (click on link for full Q&A).
‘Practise hard, listen to lots of different music, never be late and always bring a pencil!’
‘Advice for us all: get out the way, you are not special but the music coming through you is.’
‘If you want to be extraordinary you have to behave in an extraordinary fashion.’
‘Rothko feels like Jazz. His work demands interaction.’
'Cannot stress this enough – FIND YOUR OWN EXPRESSION!!'
‘Take your time, it takes time! Be patient, work hard and don't hide your light under a bushel. Don't worry if it isn't perfect, every performance is a rehearsal for the next.’
Upholding the venue’s long-standing commitment to Jazz, the festival (which is the UK’s biggest jazz festival under one roof) shifts into a new era with a fresh name; ‘Gateshead Jazz’. Its focus is on attracting new audiences with cutting-edge artists joining established names, reflecting the current fervour for the genre and platforming talent from across the North.
