Preview: Newcastle Jazz Festival (Day 2) Friday Aug. 19

This time next week the Newcastle Jazz Festival will be into its second day. Newcastle Arts Centre is kindly sponsoring the event in the Black Swan basement performance space. It's a contrasting double bill featuring a new duo and an established brass outfit. Tenor saxophonist Harry Keeble teams up with guitarist extraordinaire Mark Williams. Expect to hear their take on standards and perhaps one or two original compositions.

Trumpeter Graham Hardy (pictured with Jason Holcomb, trombone, Jamie Toms, tenor sax, and bass drum maestro Brendan Murphy) will lead his all-star Northern Monkey Brass Band in a joyous celebration of all things New Orleans, Star Wars (?!?!) and more. The NMBB boasts an A-list line-up. Friday week on Westgate Road is the only place to be! TICKETS HERE. Russell
