NEWCASTLE JAZZ FESTIVAL 2019 // ALEXANDER BONE QUARTET . ❝Could anyone follow this? Back in the old days it may have been Ronnie Scott or James Moody but, now it was left to Alexander Bone to rise to the challenge and, as he was the inaugural winner of the BBC Jazz Musician of the Year award, I could think of none better. He didn't fail. With the audience in mind, he played driving hard bop alto. A guy sitting at a nearby table wore a Blue Note tee shirt - he must have gone home a happy man! Dean Stockdale, Mick Shoulder and Matt MacKellar - what a back three!❞ . Read the full review >>>>> Link in bio . [📸 @malcolm_sinclair_ ] @alexanderbonemusic

NEWCASTLE JAZZ FESTIVAL 2019 // FISK & BIRKETT . ❝Did I say contrast? With Emma Fisk and James Birkett you got it! Anyone who thought the 1920s' swing of Emma and James might pall after the heavy metal thrash of the previous set soon dismissed those thoughts - A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square - maybe the highlight of the afternoon - maybe - when you open a box of chocolates can you make such a decision? Suffice to say that Emma and James weren't the coffee creams but the ones you grab first - apologies to those who like coffee creams!❞ . Read the full review >>>>> Link in bio .

NEWCASTLE JAZZ FESTIVAL 2019 // MARK WILLIAMS TRIO . ❝Contrast is what makes any festival and the Mark Williams Trio certainly upped the ante in that respect. This wasn't Walker - it was Woodstock Forty Years After! Alvin Lee, Black Sabbath, Williams, Walker (Rob) and Pope. ❞ . Read the full review >>>>> Link in bio . [📸 @malcolm_sinclair_ ]
