Bebop Spoken There

“Perfection is kind of boring, isn't it?” - Jane Monheit (Downbeat June 2013).

“It’s difficult if you play mainstream in the UK, it isn’t appreciated enough. The current scene seems to focus on musician-composers.” - Allison Neale (Jazz Journal April 2013)

June 23 Ray Chester Tribute Concert.

As most of you already know, sadly, Ray passed away in January this year and as a mark of respect and celebration of his music, the band has agreed to perform one final concert with all proceeds going to St Benedict’s Hospice (Monkwearmouth). It is probably, most fitting that this “Tribute Concert” will be at the Customs House, South Shields where Ray has appeared every year since 2007. A memorable and emotional night truly awaits the band’s last captive audience. The event is being recorded and modestly priced copies can be ordered on the night. Tickets available from the Customs House – 0191 4541234 or www.customshouse.co.uk

More info from the Ray Chester website.

Next Wednesday (June 27) @ The Chilli.

Just to let you know that our special guests on 27 June will be the Redemption Quartet (pictured), who have played with us before. Keith Tulip, the group's bassist, says they'll be playing a few new tunes they've been working on, and I'm looking forward to hearing them.
We continue with our workshop band, with 6-string bassist Ray Truscott a regular and welcome participant. We've also had a wonderful young guitarist, Mike (from Cyprus) playing recently; he's a student with Mick Wright at Newcastle University. Alas, he's home to Cyprus for the summer, but he'll be back in the autumn.
Paul Gowland plays with us most weeks, awesome as ever, as well as wonderful young drummer Daniel Reid (also a Newcastle Uni student). As ever, Barrie Ascroft is on keyboard, and yours truly is on trumpet/flugel and vocals.
Dave Weisser.

About this blog - contact details.
Bebop Spoken Here -- Here, being the north-east of England -- centred in the blues heartland of Newcastle and reaching down to the Tees Delta and looking upwards to the Land of the Kilt.
Not a very original title, I know; not even an accurate one as my taste, whilst centred around the music of Bird and Diz, extends in many directions and I listen to everything from King Oliver to Chick Corea and beyond. Not forgetting the Great American Songbook the contents of which has provided the inspiration for much great jazz and quality popular singing for round about a century.
The idea of this blog is for you to share your thoughts and pass on your comments on discs, gigs, jazz - music in general. If you've been to a gig/concert or heard a CD that knocked you sideways please share your views with us. Tell us about your favourites, your memories, your dislikes.
