Bebop Spoken There

“A tidy little piece entitled 'Haitian Fight Song' sounds about as combative as a tea-cosy" - Philip Larkin (Daily Telegraph February 15, 1965.)
-----
"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.)

If you happen to be in Barbados - David Carnegie update.

David Carnegie - late of these shores posted the following on Facebook...
Caribbean, contemporary and straight ahead jazz performed for your listening pleasure as you have a drink and sit in a cooling sea breeze.
The trio features Stefan Walcott on keys, Richard 'Bill' Evans on Bass and David Carnegie on Drums.
The bar is situated across the road from Dover playing field.
Good to know things are working out for David he's sadly missed over here. Reading the above it sounds just like Whitley Bay (not!)

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.
