Greg Abate - 2 gigs on Nov 8th

Lots of good music in the North East during November

American bop alto saxophonist Greg Abate puts in two appearances in the North East  - Nov 7 with the Paul Edis Trio at the Black Swan, Newcastle and the following day (1:00pm) working as a duo with pianist Edis at the Gala Theatre, Durham. It is advisable to book now for the Durham gig as it will be an advance sell out - tel: 03000 266 600. Soft Machine rock up at the Cluny, Newcastle on Nov 11. It's a Monday night, so, with little else happening this is your chance to catch up with John Etheridge and co. Twenty four hours later Jamie Toms' Not Now Charlie will play a Hexham Jazz Club gig at the Fox Inn. The volunteer run club helps to keep the jazz flag flying in the Tyne Valley. It's a free admission (donations!) gig so do get along to show your support. Thursday 14 - book a day off work. At 1:10pm in King's Hall, Newcastle University there is a free admission, one set (fifty minutes) by the globe-trotting Sirkis/Bialas IQ. Stay in town then head over to Gosforth Civic Theatre for the debut performance by Mondo Trumpet (7:30pm). A two-trumpet frontline working with an ace piano trio, this could be the start of something. Tyneside based American ex-pat Pete Tanton teams up with fellow trumpeter Graham Hardy to play original material with an international flavour. Tanton promises to sing a few numbers in English and French! The trio - Paul Edis, Andy Champion, Russ Morgan - is an attraction in its own right, linking up with Tanton and Hardy makes this gig an intriguing prospect.

London based Jo Harrop and Jamie McCredie return home, albeit for a day, to play a duo concert at the Lit and Phil, Newcastle (Nov 15, lunchtime) and an evening concert at Holy GrAle on Crossgate, Durham. Vocalist Jo and guitarist Jamie are from these (north eastern) parts and they're welcome anytime.

Finally, one or two other tasty looking gigs - Wednesday 6 sees a debut duo performance by pianist Paul  Edis and adopted Geordie, vocalist Alice Grace. It's a one o'clock start on the mezzanine floor in Newcastle Arts Centre, three quid on the door, it'll be busy. Friday 22 sees an unfortunate clash of gigs little more than a mile apart. At Darlington's Hullabaloo Theatre (Darlington Hippodrome) Edinburgh's brilliant Tenement Jazz Band will entertain Darlington New Orleans Jazz Club's regulars and just up the road at the Traveller's Rest the Mick Shoulder Quintet will be in bop/post bop mode. An interesting couple of changes to the line-up for this one - recent Leeds College of Music graduate Harry Keeble will be blowing tenor (he's one to watch) and one-time Tyneside resident Ben Gilbert will be occupying the piano stool.
