Bebop Spoken There

Steve Coleman: ''If you don't keep learning, your mind slows down. Use it or lose it''. (DownBeat, January 2025).

The Things They Say!

This is a good opportunity to say thanks to BSH for their support of the jazz scene in the North East (and beyond) - it's no exaggeration to say that if it wasn't for them many, many fine musicians, bands and projects across a huge cross section of jazz wouldn't be getting reviewed at all, because we're in the "desolate"(!) North. (M & SSBB on F/book 23/12/24)

Francis Tulip Quintet featuring Xhosa Cole coming to the Globe on Dec. 13

(Press release)

North East born guitarist Francis Tulip, a recent graduate of the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire jazz course and recipient of the college jazz performance prize, brings a quintet featuring a stellar line-up of Birmingham and London based musicians. 

The group features BBC Young Jazz Musician of The Year 2018 Xhosa Cole who needs no introduction. Joining the line-up is London born pianist Tuoyo Awala, who has performed at Birmingham Symphony Hall as part of Lekan Babalola’s African series, and with Xhosa Cole on Dr Nick Pillai’s jazz 1080 show; emerging bassist Louis Stringer who has supported artists such as Peter Bernstein and Drew Gress; and Matt Holmes on drums, who has played with Alan Barnes, Ian Shaw and NYJO under the direction of Orphy Robinson. Expect a showcase of music routed firmly in the jazz tradition with a modern approach, and original repertoire.

You can also download the pdf file by clicking ‘Return to Merchant’ immediately after you have paid. You can watch the gig live and at any time during the following week.

A live stream ticket costs £5.45. If you are able to give a bit more, this will be really welcome at this difficult time when income for musicians and venues is drastically reduced.

This will confirm that you are on the guest list.
