Bebop Spoken There

-----
"Before he (Mingus) died he said, 'I'll probably be reincarnated as an unknown cello player playing Bach, Beethoven and Mingus' ." - Sue Mingus (Downbeat January 1997.)

TONIGHT at the HIGHFIELD - RUTH LAMBERT TRIO

RUTH LAMBERT is tonight's (Sunday May 10,) star attraction at The HIGHFIELD HOTEL, East Rainton, County Durham. The down beat is at 8:00 pm and Ruth is one classy chanteuse. With PAUL EDIS on piano, ANDY CHAMPION, bass, sounds to me like you ought to be there.
And, if you are still in doubt, it is FREE!

  1. Is this a dumb question, but have any of the gigs been advertised in the listings of magazines & papers - I've never seen them in the Guardian Guide for example?

  2. Good question - come in Paul Edis...
    Apart from this site, Paul Bream gives all known gigs coverage and the Highfield management advertised in the Sunderland Echo as well as emailing interested parties. There was a good crowd for Tony Kofi and Julian Siegel. The problem as I see it is that folk are prepared to boogie down the A19 for a 'name' but not for a local band/artist.

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.
