The Gideon Tazelaar Quartet @ Yamaha Music School, Blyth - Oct 21
Sunday night @ the Globe: The Magpies of Swing - Oct. 20

The swing dancers were out in force - man can they do the Lindy Hop - I was exhausted just watching them! Still, with a band like this who couldn't/wouldn't want to dance? Peppered with soloists and singers, the hits and near-misses of the '20s, '30s and '40s were given the hottest work out since the Palomar Ballroom in L.A. burnt down.

The Olivia Cuttill Quintet @ King's Hall, Newcastle University - Oct. 17
Anonymous |
When I took my seat in the King's Hall Recital Room in Newcastle University for a 45 minute lunchtime concert little did I think I was about to witness one of the 'Gig of the Year' contenders. After all, there's some mega names in the running already - and the opening number, Isabella, did nothing to change things. Don't get me wrong, it was fine, Cuttill displaying a big round sound on an interesting composition but the (musical) Earth didn't move for me.

Album review: Al Jarreau & NDR Bigband - Ellington (ACT)
I've heard Ellington performed in every which way including loose but never quite like this! Some purists might class it as sacrilege - I almost did. However, the trick I found is to forget every bar of Ellingtonia you've ever heard and treat it like you're hearing it for the very first time. Judging by the applause I guess that's what the enthusiastic audience did.......and so did I!
The Black Swan jam session - Oct. 15
