Sue Ferris
(tenor sax); Graham Hardy (trumpet); Ben Lawrence (piano); John Pope (double
bass); John Bradford (drums)
Shirt sleeves in Blyth in the last week of October. Who would have thought it? The Yamaha Music School on Seaforth Street is beginning to succeed in attracting regulars. All the indications are the place is heading in the right direction.
This Monday lunchtime concert featured the Sue Ferris Quintet. That Shoe String Thing - Sue's debut album - would feature throughout a set of some forty five minutes. John Pope depping for Andy Champion, otherwise it was the usual line-up.

Roy Hargrove wrote some great tunes, said bandleader Sue. Her ace quintet went out on one of them - Soppin' the Biscuit.
Next week (Monday 4 November) there is something rather special to look forward to. Three stars of this weekend's sold out Classic Jazz Party will be in concert - Rico Tomasso (trumpet), Cia Tomasso (vocals) and Curtis Volp (guitar, banjo). £9.00. at the door, one o'clock start.
Set list: The Jody Grind; Nica's Dream; Cavendish*; One Hand, One Heart; Soppin' the Biscuit.
* An increasingly familiar Ben Lawrence composition, still without a name. Today, Ben decided it should be called Cavendish. Next time - who knows? Russell
