Dave Newton @ Yamaha Music School, Blyth - April 15
Blyth's Yamaha Music School's weekly lunchtime concert programme is going from strength to strength. This afternoon's concert featured the doyen of British jazz pianists, the great Dave Newton. Driving for more than six hours from his home in the south west of England, Newton arrived on Seaforth Street in good time to chat with well wishers and grab a coffee before the scheduled one o'clock start.
Sunday night @ the Globe: JazzMain - April 14

Last week was sold out. Next week is sold out so the smart money would have been down for a similar scenario this week. However, to misquote and degenderize Guiseppi Verdi - 'La donna (lee?) è mobile' - in other the words the jazz community is fickle and, this week, audience numbers were less than anticipated. Where, I wondered, were all the shareholders? Maybe they were at Rigoletto's!
Album Review: Cliff Beach – You Showed Me The Way
Cliff Beach (vocals); Munenori 'Moon'
Kishi (keyboards); Evan Mackey (lead trombone, music director); Ruben Salinas
(baritone sax); Sam Williams (tenor sax); Luis Cardena-Casillas, Joe Ferruzzo
(trumpet); Satoshi Kirisawa (drums); Andy Moresi (guitar); Leah Concialdi
(baritone/alto saxes)
I could do worse than simply quote from the publicity sheet to describe what type of singer this guy is. 'This 'funky, soulful. swinging singer, pianist and composer sounds like he could be the love child of Ella Fitzgerald and Stevie Wonder'.
