Jazz North East arfe promoting a run of international gigs with a strong international flavour, reflecting the enthusiasm of overseas bands to come and play for the appreciative Tyneside audience. In quick succession we have Japanese pianistJapanese pianist Yoko Miura, Luxembourg trio the Jeff Herr Corporation, and Oxford-born, Amsterdam-trained, and Berlin-resident reedman Toby Delius. But we’re certainly not neglecting the UK scene, so our opening Autumn series also brings in the exciting new London trio Glasshopper (featuring Hexham-born guitarist James Kitchman), the star-studded quartet Let Spin, and three of Tyneside’s leading players in Triptych.
This is, we hope, just the start of another sequence of outstanding jazz, crossing the borders of style and nationality. With our successful Arts Council funding application we have incredibly exciting plans for the rest of this year and through 2016. Just keep watching this space . . .
