The BBC has posted details of an exhibition currently running at the City Library showcasing Newcastle's African American music legacy.
Details can be found HERE.
The exhibition runs until April 28 and should be of interest to students of jazz, rock, pop, soul and African American music in general.
Thanks to Dave Sayer for bringing this interesting exhibition to my attention. Lance

An entertaining but small slice of the history of the Newcastle music scene . All the greats are represented there Ellington, Basie, Armstrong etc along with more contemporary legends Sam Cooke, Little Richard .
The common theme being that all these greats have played in Newcastle which I personally find astounding , my humble little city played host to the greatest musicians of their time . There is not a great deal to see but really there is , if you have time to pop in before the 28th when I believe it ends I would urge you to do so.
