“When I listen to a band like the BBC Big Band, and all the fine young musicians in it – my God. I have ties older than they are!" - Phil Woods ( Jazz Journal 2008.)

Matthias Seuffert at Customs House and Trinity Jazz

Just a reminder that the brilliant young German sax and clarinet player, Matthias Seuffert, will be playing two concerts - in contrasting styles - on Tyneside next week. On Friday 16th he will be appearing at the Customs House, backed by Roly Veitch's Swing Quartet, in a programme of small band jazz from the 1930s and 1940s, featuring the great standards from the American Songbook. On Saturday 17th he will be at the Trinity Gosforth with a six-piece traditional lineup, playing music from the 1920s and early 1930s. Both concerts start at 8.00pm and end at 10.30pm. Box office for the Customs House is 0191 454 1234, and for the Trinity 0191 285 6130. Whatever your choice, don't miss out on this chance to hear one of today's most technically brilliant and very exciting younger jazzmen on one of his rare visits to the region!
Mike.

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.
