As the old saying goes it's either a feast or a famine and today it is definitely the former with a dozen jazz or jazz related items spread across the area.
Martin Speake is at Bishop Auckland Town Hall this afternoon then, in the evening, moves down the road to Opus 4 at Darlington. Fans of more traditional fare have the choice of lunchtime goodies with the the New Orleans Preservation Jazz Band at Stockton, Classic Swing at Cullercoates, Rendezvous Jazz at Monkseaton and, if you were quick off the mark, the now sold out gig by the Tenement Jazz Band at the Lit and Phil.
Tonight, there's the Strictly Smokin' Big Band at the Fire Station, Sunderland, the Bold Big Band at the Old Coal Yard in Byker, the Abbie Finn Trio at the Baltic in Gateshead, just a few decibels away at Sage Gateshead you have a late nighter by the Yazz Ahmed Quartet and the Arum Ghosh Quintet, whilst for those who want to funk it up, Swannek are at Hoochie and Jools Holland is at Darlington Hippodrome.
Full details for all of these can be found in the above listings.
You pays your money, you makes your choice. Lance
