There's a whole gang of jazz blogs and websites around and here's a one that has a lot of jazz history within its virtual portals - check it out HERE. It's good to have a site that recognises where the young guns of today came from even if some of them don't know themselves! There's quite a few typos but they don't detract from the content. Lance

Thoughts on International Jazz Day and the media
Tomorrow (May 1) is International Labour Day which may well be recognised by the nationals and, as such, by neglect of the previous 'International Day', possibly infers that musicians aren't workers when in actual fact most musicians work much harder than your average nine to fiver. When they're not gigging they're practising, composing, arranging or teaching. Lance

Jeff Barnhart's Mr Men & Ms Woman @ Darlington New Orleans Jazz Club - April 29
Album review: Dave Bass - The Trio Vol. 3
One of those albums that land in the mailbox and become forgotten. Then, by some quirk of fate, I slip it into the machine and hey! The charity shop ain't gonna get their paws on this one!
Over the years I've been fortunate to hear many of jazz's great piano trios live. Teddy Wilson, Oscar Peterson, Errol Garner, Marian McPartland, Mary Lou Williams and Bill Evans to mention but a few as well as many more on disc and I can say, with hand on heart, that Dave Bass is worthy of being included in that illustrious company.

Clark Tracey Quintet @ Crookes Social Club, Sheffield - April 28
(© Jeff Pritchard) |
This was one gig that Jeff and I just had to attend mainly because Mark Armstrong had been so impressive when we heard him on previous occasions in Llandudno and Swanage. He certainly was in great form tonight and his feature during the second set, Hoagy Carmichael’s Stardust, was outstanding and was one of many high spots of the evening.
The Strictly Smokin' Big Band: Harlem '58 @ The Witham, Barnard Castle - April 28
CD Review: Joanie Pallatto – Accidental Melody featuring Fareed Haque
This CD provides a feast of Latin jazz, original songs sung in a pleasing delicately-toned voice, to skilled accompaniment, including of course the typical Latin percussion. The music and lyrics are mostly the work of our singer with some input from her husband Bradley Parker-Sparrow and also Fareed Haque. The lyrics are philosophical, romantic and quite clever.
For instance the opening track Surrender is all about going with the flow, a relaxed song with some spoken lines, some wordless singing and superb guitar; Accidental Melody is a salsa; Apart comments on the pandemic and is slower and reflective; A Shooting Star has a tango feel, with high speed guitar and a bass solo.

Jazz on the Tyne previews the Hexham Jazz Festival 2023 with Jo Harrop
The show will feature tracks by Jo and Paul, along with the Ushaw Ensemble, Rachel Sutton, Freddie Benedict and Claire Martin, who’ll also be appearing at the festival. Plus, there’ll be music by Andy Davies.
Album review: Sharp Little Bones with Tony Kofi
(Press release) The core trio of Sharp Little Bones are joined by MOBO-nominated, multi-BBC Jazz and Parliamentary Jazz Awards winner Tony Kofi. Together, they perform brand-new compositions that are tight, energetic, catchy, and melodic. Their sound has fresh, contemporary appeal: live acoustic forces rooted in bebop and blues, embellished with tasteful electronics and warm, analogue synth textures.

International Jazz Day @ the Globe
Here are the proceedings for the day…
Wednesday, April 26, 2023
Chelsea 0 Brentford 2
A fitting epitaph to devoted Brentford fan and BSH reviewer Steve Horowitz who sadly left us on Monday. Your team did you proud tonight as you have done them - and BSH - over the years with your support. Lance
Paul Hartley Quartet @ the Railway, Stockport - April 25
(© Jeff Pritchard) |
I’ve been a big fan of the flugelhorn ever since I bought a Riverside LP In Orbit by Clark Terry which has Clark playing flugel exclusively alongside Thelonious Monk, Sam Jones and Philly Joe Jones. In my opinion, it’s one of the greatest albums ever made and if you haven’t got it, try and get it. It’s been reissued on the Original Jazz Classics label as a CD which contains one bonus track Flugelin’ the Blues.
Bold Big Band @ the Black Swan - April 25
(© Mike Tilley) |
The Bold Big Band, not to be confused with the Newcastle University Jazz Orchestra who presumably operate from the same campus, are the best looking big band I've seen in years. They're also the youngest - no shiny pates or grizzly grey beards in this outfit.
They're a well rehearsed band with tight section work all round. The phrasing of the unaccompanied saxes on Cruisin' Bluesin' was absolutely spot on and behind Polley's excellent vocals they achieved an authentic 1930s' sound.
Tuesday, April 25, 2023
Album Review: Fred Farell – Seasons' Journey
Fred
Farell (voice); Roberta Piket (piano, musical director); Ratzo Harris (acoustic
bass)
This selection of songs is varied and interesting, ranging from the joy of Bill Evans Waltz For Debbie, the Latin beat of Jobim's Dindi, to the jazz standard Skylark and the melancholy of Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most. I wish I could say that I enjoyed the singing as much as the songs, but I can't. Fred Farell seemed to be straining to sing the higher notes and was not quite on key for some of the others. Mr Farell has been singing for five decades and will have done lots of good work in the past, but he doesn't seem to do himself justice on this CD.
Harry Belafonte RIP

Breaking news - R.I.P. Steve Horowitz
Steve, known to BSH readers as Steve H, contributed many album and gig reviews which were always perceptive and frequently with a humorous sting in the tail.
We shared a love of jazz, not always in total agreement, football, never in total agreement and real ale, always in total agreement!
Robin Sunflower Quartet @ the Railway, Stockport - April 23
(© Jeff Pritchard) |
Unlike his last appearance at this venue on March 24, Robin Sunflower’s line-up for this gig included piano, double bass and drums. There were no vocals tonight and the total tunes played added up to an amazing seventeen.
We heard lots of great compositions by Toots Thielemans, a musician who I never saw live, as well as tunes by other writers such as Charlie Chaplin, Wayne Shorter, and Jimi Hendrix. Richard Wetherall was an important part of this group and he always gets a great sound out of the house upright piano. Matt Owen and Danny Ward on bass and drums did a great job of keeping the tempos spot on.
Preview: Michael Bublé @ Utilita Arena, Newcastle - May 1 & 2
The complete entertainer, a legend in his own lifetime, you name it, the Canadian-born singer is both and more, transcending genres and appealing to all age groups.
Backed by a band, or shall we say orchestra? prepare yourself for a memorable evening but don't procrastinate - tickets are going fast. Lance

Zoë Gilby @ the Lit & Phil - April 21
What do American trumpet player Tom Harrell and the great British novelist, the late Patrick Hamilton have in common?
Answer: They've both had their work lyricised by Zoë Gilby.
In the case of the latter, arguably the greatest British novelist/playwright, Zoë put words to Andy Champion's music both of which were inspired by Hamilton's novel The Midnight Bell.
The words convey the atmosphere of a rundown London pub back in the late 1920s/early '30s. Zoë's words bring to life the sad story of the losers whose life centres around the hours between opening and closing time. They could be equally applied today.
Merlin Roxby @ Prohibition Bar - April 20
Album Review – Richard Glassby – Travels
Richard Glassby (drums); Matthew Kilner (tenor sax); Ewan Hastie (bass); Pete Johnstone (piano).
Well, this is a canny band. Drummer Glassby has crowd-funded the creation of this album, for which he has written all the music. Also on board is last year’s Young Jazz Musician winner, Ewan Hastie on bass. No lesser an authority than Tommy Smith said of him, “Ewan Hastie is the best bass soloist I’ve heard at his age … ever!” Pete Johnstone has worked as a duo with Tommy Smith and in his Coltrane tribute quartet and Kilner hails from Aberdeen by way of Birmingham and gets points for this performance of The Peacocks on YouTube.
Thursday, April 20, 2023
Martin Speake and Alcyona Mick @ Sage Gateshead - April 20
I'd have warmed up if there had been bass and drums in the mix but that wasn't what it was all about.
It would also have helped if Speake had used a mic for his introduction to the pieces, which were mainly originals but, I guess the on stage mic was purely for recording purposes.
Tonight @ Sage Gateshead.
There is a rare treat in store tonight (April 20) at Sage Gateshead in the form of saxophonist Martin Speake and pianist Alcyona Mick who will give a duo recital in Sage Two starting at 8:00pm.
The hall will be set out cabaret style making for a nice relaxed atmosphere to enjoy the music from these two outstanding performers. Lance
Wednesday, April 19, 2023
Adeus Ivan “Mamão” Conti
That pulsating Brazilian beat was, in the main, due to percussionist Ivan “Mamão” Conti who, sadly, died just two days ago (April 17) aged 76.
Black Swan Jam @ Newcastle Arts Centre - April 18
On piano, Michael Young proved to be a welcome addition to the pool of players from which the house trio is drawn and it was good to see Tim Johnston on drums who impressed with his brushwork early on.
Amazingly for a jam session there were no guitarists or tenor players in attendance - surely a first!

Swing, strings and keys at Heart of Hawick
(© Douglas Robertson) |
(Press release) Violinist Tim Kliphuis’ trio,
guitar duo Graeme Stephen & Don Paterson and saxophone-piano pairing Brian
Molley & Tom Gibbs form the jazz element of the upcoming music programme at
the Heart of Hawick venue just over the Border on the A7.
Hailed as 'the Dutch Grappelli' and 'a modern-day improvising Paganini,' Kliphuis has taken his music across the world and fronts a group that features Scottish guitarist Nigel Clark and bassist Roy Percy. They bring their tribute to swing master Django Reinhardt to Heart of Hawick on Saturday 27th May.
Munch Manship Quartet @ the Railway, Stockport - April 16
(© Jeff Pritchard) |
There are two musicians who are sure-fire room fillers here at the Railway. Dean Masser who was recently here on April 9 is one and the other is Munch Manship who like Dean is a virtuoso on the tenor saxophone. Munch is also a first rate flautist but his flute was only brought into play during the second set when he gave us his take on Luis Bonfá’s great composition Samba de Orfeu.
An interesting member of this fine quartet was keyboard maestro Paul Kilvington who knows how to build his solos and his high energy approach went down well with the Sunday night audience. I always like to see local bassman Dave Lynane on the bandstand and together with Dave Hassell on drums they completed a first rate rhythm section.
Ahmad Jamal (July 2, 1930 - April 16, 2023)
However, I do have a few of his many albums to keep his memory alive. Two of these are the recently unearthed - Emerald City Nights. Four discs in total recorded live at the Penthouse Club in Seattle over 1963-64 and 1965-66 they show a player who eschewed the flash of Peterson and Tatum in favour of sensitivity and musicality sticking to the ethos that it's as much what you don't play as what you do play. He got the balance just right.

Dean Stockdale Quartet: Celebrating Oscar @ Queen's Hall, Hexham - April 16
Album review: Towner Galaher Organ Trio - Live
Towner Galaher (drums); Lonnie Gasperini (B3); Marvin Horne (guitar).
A second jazz organ group to pop up with an album. Just like the Vince Ector album reviewed yesterday this one is also drummer-led and was also recorded in Connecticut. Another live recording, this time at Daddy Jacks in New London and, although DJs is/was in a city four times the size of Old Lyme at under 28,000, unlike the smaller town, it no longer has a jazz venue still, neither do many UK towns and cities of similar size or less so, stand up Blaydon Jazz Club and take a bow!
Tonight @ the Globe - Swinging modern jazz with a distinctive guest vocalist
Remembering the Mighty Joe Young Band
However, there were others. The Peter Jacobson Quartet held down a regular spot at the Five Bridges Hotel in Gateshead as well as at the New Orleans Club in Newcastle.

Album review: Vince Ector Organatomy Trio+ - Live @ the side door
Organ trios and quartets appear to be back in vogue. We've got at least two on Tyneside and no doubt most other cities in the western world have their share not least Philly where Ector was raised before moving to NY C.
Recorded live at The Side Door Jazz Club in Old Lyme, Connecticut - a town with a population of only 7,628 which can, nevertheless, support a jazz club recognised by DownBeat as "one of the world's 106 great jazz venues" - it's an out and swinger.
Four of the nine tracks are Ector originals the other five are by Don Patterson, Dizzy, Benny Carter, Bacharach and Vinnie Barrett/Bobby Eli. The Organatomy Trio+ do them all justice.
The Pasadena Roof Orchestra @ The Fire Station, Sunderland - April 14
The Empire Theatre was doing good business with patrons queuing in the rain (The Lion King the big draw), the Dun Cow was doing a roaring trade and, not to be outdone, Sunderland's Fire Station and adjoining Engine Room pub were more than busy thanks to a first visit by the Pasadena Roof Orchestra. The PRO is on a three date flying visit 'up north' - Sunderland, Pitlochry and Alnwick. This Friday evening first leg couldn't have gone better, the band on top form, the audience loving every minute of two fast-paced sets.
