Roland Hanna: "To me, music is a sort of a help-mate for human beings to get through life with; it's a valve for us to release some of the pressure that builds up." - (Crescendo June 1980).

Moss Project: Short Stories @ Lit & Phil. October 29
Moss Freed (guitar), Alice Zawadzki (violin & vocals), Ruth Goller (electric bass), Marek Dorcik (drums) & James Miller (readings)
The Literary and Philosophical Society seemed the perfect place to stage the event. An event combining literature and music couldn't fail to draw a large audience. It didn't quite work out like that. Did the project deter the non-jazz loving literary type? Was the jazzer dissuaded by the promise of 'readings'? Perhaps the occasion didn't quite connect with either persuasion; not enough jazz, not enough literature.
Guitarist Moss Freed took as his inspiration the work of six writers to produce compositions for his quartet. One of the writers - James Miller – joined the musicians in the library's Loftus Room to read passages from each of the writers including his own work. Freed's guitar and Alice Zawadzki's violin and voice worked in unison as Ruth Goller's subtle bass lines peppered percussionist Marek Dorcik's featherweight brush work. Chamber jazz, folk melodies and Zawadzki's resonant violin responded to Miller's measured readings. A CD – What Do You See When You Close Your Eyes? - is to be released in early 2013 on the
label. For the record the featured writers are Naomi Alderman, Hanan al Shaykh,
Joe Dunthorne, Colum McCann, James MillerLawrence and James Miller. Babel

Mark Williams Trio @ The Bridge. October 28
Mark Williams (guitar), Andy Champion (electric bass) & Richard Brown (drums)
Guitarist Mark Williams played at the Splinter summer season finale. On that occasion he opened his set with a solo guitar piece of which
or Martin Taylor
would have been proud. This latest outing began with the Irishman digging the
blues. Two bars in and it hit home…1980s Jimmy Witherspoon at the Corner House
– Gee Baby, Ain't I Good to You? Had
Williams been on the gig back then Spoon would surely have said: Give the man a hand! A magical start to
the evening. Williams called to the stand regular drummer Richard Brown and
depping bassist Andy Champion. The trio had a blast. Familiar tunes, a new tune
'written this morning' according to
Williams, cranked-up numbers, a ballad, a waltz (Weird Waltz), a blues (Booze
Blues). Funk, swing, Michael Brecker, Scofield, a McLaughlin chord,
Champion's five string walking bass lines, Champion's chops-busting solos,
Brown's spot-on drumming – the gig chalked up five stars. 'Play some blues' exclaimed
a voice three sheets to the wind. Williams played Filth – a filthy blues. One way or another that is what Williams
played all night long. Williams took the time to announce next week's gig –
ACV. He said he may well turn up. I hope he does…he's in the band! The set drew
to a close with the monster Minor Detail.
It doesn't get any better than this. Joe
Whitley Bay Classic Jazz Party - Day 3, Sunday October 28.
(Review by Lance.)
Well, with the help of the Metro and the number 309 - and, of course, that Good Old Wagon the number 27 for the final leg of the return trip I made it.
The Whitley Bay Jazz Party is something special and well worth the problems non-drivers or reluctant drivers (myself) sometimes face.
If the worst came to the worst I'd walk!
It's simply a wonderful, friendly weekend.

Maine Street Jazzmen Rule in Rochdale.
Maine Street Jazzmen played their first gig at Rochdale Jazz Club back in July this year, which was very well received.
The club operates on a Sunday Night and features visiting and local bands.
Every year the members/committee have an opportunity to vote for who they think is the best band to have played at the club, in the previous year.
The band learnt last week that they have chosen Maine Street Jazzmen as their new "Band of the Year".
Consequently MSJ have been booked for a return gig to Rochdale Jazz Club in January 2013 to receive their "Band of The Year" trophy.
Attached are some photo's taken by local photographer and jazz club member Valerie Bracken at the July gig. She sends a selection of her photos to the local newspaper as well as Jazz North West's website.
The drummer in the pictures is Rod Macnamara, a Leeds based Drummer, who helped out on the night. Also featured in the photos are jazz club members Pat & Dave, celebrating the arrival of a grandchild, having a dance to the band.
MSJ have two more "away" gig's in the near future, Boston Spa Jazz club near Wetherby on Sat 1st Dec, and also Edinburgh Jazz Club on Friday 7th December.
Further details on band's website www.mainestreetjazzmen.comPhotos.
The Very "Best" of Jazz Club
Colin Aitchison sent me this YouTube link that would be funny if it wasn't too far away from real (jazz) life. I've seen bands that were pretty close to some of these!

A Gardenia for Lady Day: Cecile Mclorin Salvant Sage Hall 2 Thursday October 25
Cecile Mclorin Salvant (vocals); Enrico Tomasso (trumpet/cornet); Jean-Francois Bonnel (ten/alt sax and clarinet); Martin Litton (piano); Roly Veitch (guitar); Manu Hagmann (bass); Richard Pite (drums). (Review by Ann Alex).
What a good time was had by all! Nearly every seat on all three levels of Hall 2 was occupied for this tribute to Billie Holiday, sung by Ms Mclorin Salvant, who was an attractive, elegant lady in red, with large-framed spectacles. Her voice has many vocal colours, sweet and persuasive, pleadingly sad, then wonderfully dark and rich in the lower ranges. The emphasis was on the songs that Billie sang in the 1930's, a relatively happier time of her life. Our singer brought her own style to the songs, with effective interpretations. I felt that she could have had an alternative career as an actor.

Vieux Carré Jazzmen @ The Millstone, South Gosforth. October 25
Brian Bennett (banjo & vocals), Fred Rowe (trumpet & vocals), Barry Soulsby (clarinet & vocals), Lawrence McBriarty (trombone), Brian Sibbald (double bass) & Fred Thompson (drums & vocals) - (Review by Russell).
At the conclusion of John Law's lunchtime performance at
University the lure of some jazz proved too much. A short bus
ride from Crescent City Barras Bridge
is the city of New Orleans…well, the Millstone
pub in South Gosforth. The Vieux Carré's
Thursday residency has gone from night time to day time and best of all the
session is now in the downstairs lounge. A pint of Mordue's Five Bridges ('a bit lively, this one' said the barman), a place at the bar, it
would be good to say the joint was jumpin'. In truth it could have done with a
few more in.
John Law Trio @ King's Hall, Newcastle. October 25
John Law (piano & keyboards), Yuri Goloubev (double bass) & Tim Giles (drums)
Pianist John Law returned to the King's Hall to play a trio concert with bassist Yuri Goloubev and drummer Tim Giles. The lunchtime date drew a sizeable audience to hear the trio present a few numbers from Law's recent CD release Three Leaps of the Gazelle together with one or two other tunes. The Nick Drake tune River Man opened the one set performance. The King's Hall's acoustics did little to help the amplified instrument and at times Goloubev's excellent bass playing wasn't heard to best effect. Insistence matched Law's percussive approach with the inventive Tim Giles (Goloubev's smile affirmed his appreciation of Giles, the 'new boy' of the trio). Law combined jazz and classical piano styles (a concert-goer remarked 'I heard Bach in his playing') most notably in Three Part Invention followed by The Quiet Dignity of the Minor. The use of an electric keyboard introduced an unwelcome discordant note. This proved short lived as the trio swung out on Brubeck's

This is an unusual CD of traditional folk songs played and sung in a jazz-like manner by very talented musicians who have excellent credentials and much experience. My reaction, as a jazz-loving folkie, was mixed.

Barclaycard Mercury Prize 'Album of the Year' TONIGHT Channel 4 12.55am - 1.10am
(Press release from Siân Williams.)
Roller Trio are interviewed before their Mercury show at LSO St Lukes:
The meteoric rise of Roller Trio now seems unstoppable as the Leeds twenty-somethings, described by Gilles Peterson as "…the new sound of UK jazz", have now been nominated for Best UK Newcomer at the Inaugural Jazz FM Awards 2013. This comes on top of their MOBO nomination and their debut album being named a 2012 Barclaycard Mercury Music Prize 'Album of the Year' - all within just 18 months of their first gig together.
Well, most people that know me know I'm a cycling fan. I never did drugs but many a 100 mile ride was fuelled with alcohol.
Which brings me to my namesake - Lance Armstrong.
He has been lambasted, humiliated, stripped of his glory by the testimony of so-called team mates.
Well, my view is that, Not only was Lance the best cyclist of his era but he was also a better doper than the others. If you were to disqualify all the dopers in the Tour de France then the winner would be the Lanterne Rouge!
And whilst we're on the subject, imagine if, overnight, the albums of say - Art Pepper, Dexter Gordon, Stan Getz, Lee Morgan, Hank Mobley, Hampton Hawes, Tubby Hayes, Pete King and a hundred others were deleted from the catalogue for the same reason?
Jazz, just as cycling is,would be the loser.
Oh yes and you could add The Stones, The Beatles and just about every other pop band that ever played!
Maybe dope should be legal bought over the counter - the gang wars would end!

Jazz Summit 2012
The good thing about this meeting was the number of people who showed up. The bad thing was those who didn't show. Apart from Mike Durham, Keith Crombie, Brian Bennett and the guys from Saltburn, I didn't see any of the more mainstream orientated promoters. Their input would have been valuable.
As it was, it was a constructive evening which, inevitably for an opener, ended up as a work in progress.
The Future of Contemporary Jazz in the North East of England
I'd like to urge fans, musicians and promoters of all forms of jazz in the north east to attend tonight's Public Meeting - The Future of Contemporary Jazz in the North East of England - held at the Lit and Phil, 23 Westgate Rd, Newcastle. Several jazz people involved in the wider spectrum of our music have told me that they won't be going because of the insertion of "Contemporary" in the heading. This is unfortunate as, personally, I think this gives them all the more reason to attend and let their voices be heard.
To put it another way, it's no good complaining about your MP if you didn't bother to vote.
The meeting, which is chaired by Chris Hodgkins of Jazz Services, starts at 7:00pm. The bar will be open - always conducive to free speech - and afterwards there will be a set by Zoe Gilby and Andy Champion.

Bob Belden Unveils a Dark Narrative of Manhattan On Second Animation Project for RareNoise Records
(Press release)Following on the heels of Animation's 2010 RareNoise debut, Asiento (the group's live take on Miles Davis' 1970 fusion landmark, Bitches Brew), and 2011's Agemo (a radical remix of the six tracks from Asiento utilizing the new 3D60 surround sound technology), saxophonist-composer-bandleader Bob Belden tells his own story on Transparent Heart. With his new Animation lineup consisting of young students he recruited from his own alma mater, the University of North Texas (23-year-old keyboardist Roberto Verastegui, 24-year-old bassist Jacob Smith, 32-year-old trumpeter Pete Clagett and 19-year-old drummer Matt Young), Belden unveils a dark narrative of Manhattan as seen through the musical diary he has composed over 29 years of living in the Big Apple.

New Hartley Memorial Hall does well with folk gigs. Kathryn Tickell packed out the place and Jez Lowe, a favourite, returns in the new year. Jazz, contemporary or otherwise is another matter. The jazz fan, the curious and the Memorial Hall patron assembled in sufficient numbers to constitute an audience keen to hear to some jazz, contemporary jazz at that.

A couple of weeks ago I send out a preliminary notice about a public meeting on the future of jazz provision in the North East. That meeting is now imminent, and I cannot stress strongly enough how important this could be to maintaining, indeed improving, a vibrant jazz scene in the region . . . I urge everybody who has an interest in jazz, whether as musician, promoter, educator, student or audience member, to get along - even if you don't feel able to contribute to discussion, your very presence at the meeting will help show how strongly we all feel about the music we love.

The Jazzman by Kevah Emami.
Kevah Emami posted this portrait of Jazz Café Supremo Keith Crombie on Facebook.
I felt it worthy of reproduction here.
A product of the early years of Trad, Skiffle and Rock and Roll Keith has kept his modest, yet charismatic, venue going against all the odds. Jazz loving visitors from around the world make a beeline for The Caff when in town (Newcastle). It's a place that is becoming isolated because of its individuality - rather like the corner shop surrounded by supermarkets. We should support it whilst it's here. The music is honest and, on Friday nights, reminiscent of what you might have been listening to at Birdland in New York, The Flamingo in London or the Down Beat in Newcastle in the late '50s early '6os. Drop by, say hello, enjoy a drink and hear the truth.

After Thursday's gig by Skamel at Hoochie it was with a sense of deja vu that I listened to the CD. As the gig also served as the album launch, this wasn't surprising. However, with the album sleeve (fantastic artwork by Angela Guyton!) in front of me I'm now able to pick up on the titles which I didn't always catch correctly at the gig.

Blue Notes in Bristol
Down at Bristol on holiday. A friend who is a member of Bristol Jazz Society took me to a gig held in the Crypt of St Mary's Church
Excellent band. The Blue Notes reminded me very much of the Alex Welsh Band. Talking to Ron Brown their trombone player he mentioned that he had deputized for Roy Williams with the Welsh band in the old days. What a super job he did of my request Tangerine - a favorite of Roy's. Reed man Hugh Roberts got a lovely tone on his Chinese Tenor Sax. Young singer Hannah Wedlock made a good job of some Cleo Lane numbers and several blues

The Bad Plus are certainly one of the hottest acts around at the moment pulling in audiences around the globe and releasing this, their eighth studio album.
Not your average piano/bass/drums trio, TBP move in many directions as they discover and digest new dimensions. Taking a repetitive phrase, Iverson will gradually build it up increasing the tension with bass and drums doing similar things differently until, somehow, it all comes together in a glorious cascade of notes lighting up the musical horizon as if to say this is our way - The Way.

Degree Welcome Gig @ The Sage Gateshead. October 16

R.I.P. Eddie Harvey.
The sad news that I've belatedly received is of the death of trombonist, pianist, composer, arranger, educator Eddie Harvey. My memories go back to hearing him with the Dankworth Seven at Newcastle City Hall back in the early fifties - one of the first jazz concerts I ever attended. I later heard him with Woody Herman's Anglo-American Herd at the Royal Festival Hall in 1959 and later once or twice with Humph. An impeccable player, in later years I had to be content with reading interviews in magazines. His reputation as a teacher was second to none.
Sadly missed.
Eddie Harvey died October 9 aged 86.Obituary.

Markus Berger (pno); Joe LaBarbera (dms); Bob Magnusson (bs)

(Review by Lance.).
German born, Santa Monica based, Markus Berger is, like so many of today's jazz people, classically trained and it shows in his impeccable renditions of his own and other's compositions. Jazzwise his overriding influence is Bill Evans. In years to come, possibly the Evans' persuasion will be the guiding light for contemporary pianists even more so than say Bud Powell, Keith Jarrett or Herbie Hancock.

(Review by Russell.)
Splinter, the Bridge Hotel's resident jazz promoter, joined forces with Jazz North East to present Sons of Kemet. The Four Sons pre-gig preparation showed commendable discipline. Band leader Shabaka Hutchings warmed up as reeds players do – in a corner, then on the wander checking out the acoustics (he chose to play acoustically). Tuba player Oren Marshall limbered up with some nineteen sixties' football style exercises (the ghost of Joe Harvey swept through the room – 'Pick those knees up, son!'). Drummer Seb Rochford (a high profile example of Newcastle College's successful jazz degree course) slept on the floor and percussion partner Tom Skinner went down to the bar.
Come gig time the place was packed.

His legacy covers six decades and as a pianist and bandleader, Ellington's music was evocative and emotional as well as richly textured in mood, ranging from lyrical simplicity through to dense complexity.
The Scottish National Jazz Orchestra, the UK's best jazz ensemble, have chosen a fabulous range of his pieces with which to pay their respects and thrill their audiences - foot tapping favourites, infectious swing, mellow mood and contemporary jazz to inspire and entertain all – an evening not to be missed!

Northern Monkey Brass Band @ Hoochie Coochie
Graham Hardy, Alistair Lord (tpts); David Gray, Mark Ferris (tmb); Jamie Toms (sax); Phil Rosier (tuba); Nik Alevroyiannis (snare drum); Brendan Murphy (bs dm).
(Review by Lance).
This was one of those fun nights that make all the gig-going worthwhile. The youthful audience (well most of them were youthful) were somewhat taken aback when the Northern Monkey Brass Band formerly known as Horndogs marched through the hall playing What a Friend We Have in Jesus (Was this a reference to Alistair Lord?) A young lady standing nearby did indeed mouth "Jesus!" However, by the time the tempo had upped and the band were on stage the girl was dancing and did so for the rest of the set. It's always a good sign when folk are dancing to jazz - it lets the outside world know that it isn't necessary to sit in reverential silence to enjoy good jazz.

Here is the running order for those farsighted enough to book early. For the rest I'm afraid booking starts in November for next year's event.
CD Review: Danny Green - A Thousand Ways Home.

(Review by Lance)
A gem! San Diego based pianist Green is a new name to me even though his debut album With You in Mind won the San Diego Music Awards for Best Jazz Album. I haven't heard that album but if it's half as good as this one it must have walked off with the prize 64 bars ahead of the rest!

regular bassist Mick Shoulder with a rich interpretation of A Foggy Day in London Town.

The Lit & Phil's commitment to presenting jazz gigs shows no signs of abating. Twenty four hours after Swiss pianist Christoph Stiefel wowed the audience in the Loftus Room it was the turn of
CD Review- Introducing The Verve.
Jon Hanser (keys, Voice, tpt, compositions); Kenny Shanker (sax, keys, voice);Brian Fishler (dms, perc., voice) + special guests - Richard Bona (bs); Andrea Valentini (dms); Danny Conga (perc.)
(Review by Lance).
Firstly, let me say I like this CD - I don't love it - but I do like it. The musicality is rather special with Shanker outstanding and the tunes are, generally, only a few degrees short of memorable. Difficult to categorise it, I would guess Smooth might be close.

Christoph Stiefel Inner Language Trio @ Lit & Phil. October 11
Christoph Stiefel (piano), Arne Huber (double bass) & Kevin Chesham (drums)
(Review by Russell).
Jazz North East's piano gigs at the Lit & Phil usually work well and this one, presented in association with the library, was no exception. Swiss pianist Christoph Stiefel had fulfilled a prestigious CD launch engagement at
's Pizza Express
before heading up north to play a gig at Zeffirelli's in Ambleside. Next
morning the trio, much impressed with the scenery, took to the London hills. Driving
cross country Stiefel and co. arrived late afternoon in good fettle keenly
anticipating their first appearance in Lakeland . Newcastle

(Review by Lance).
(Review by Lance).
Things got off to a good start with Blues For Pete - or was it Pat? followed by Waltz for Debby which swung all the way in 3/4. The guys were giving it everything on a Bud Powell number and I remarked to my neighbour "who's going to have the guts to get up here?" Needless to say, Lindsay took up the challenge with an incredible Take The A Train. Our girl didn't just take the A Train she drove it like crazy up to Sugar Hill in Harlem. If she'd been at the wheel of my number 27 bus I'd have been home in half the time!. Things mellowed with a slower but rockier Watermelon Man which saw the worthy member from Ashington, John T, tripping the light fantastic.

RIP Colin Farrow
Received this email from Lewis Watson: "Just heard that my old friend and bandmate from way back, Colin Farrow passed away at the weekend, he'd been suffering for a few years with the dreadful Motor Neurone disease, If you could post notice on your site hopefully some people who knew Colin might get to hear the sad news,*
Yes, Lewis this is sad news indeed. I remember well the Sneck sessions at the Corner House with Colin on alto and you on tenor and soprano blowing some great stuff. I would hazard a guess that Sneck was the first young modern band to make an impact on the local scene in the late 1970's/early '80's.
Thoughts are with you and Colin's closest.

CD Review - Harry Allen & Scott Hamilton: 'Round Midnight.
This is my kinda disc - I'm totally in my comfort zone here. Think Dexter and Wardell, Zoot and Al, Gene and Sonny, Lockjaw and Griff and you'll get the idea.
Allen has been described as "The Sinatra of the saxophone". If that's the case then Hamilton is the "Tormé of the tenor" although personally I'd reverse the comparatives. Allen, as smooth as ever, and Hamilton with a Webster-like edginess, make for a pair of contrasting yet complementary stylists. No notes for notes sake - every note, every phrase counts.
Both players are a delight to listen to and together they make a great front line.
Standards include My Melancholy Baby; How Am I To Know?; Baubles, Bangle and Beads; Lover; 'Round Midnight plus Hefti's Flight of the Foo Birds; Lockjaw's Hey Lock; Allen's Great Scott and a swinger - The Opener. What am I saying? - They all swing helped along by a rhythm section to die for.
This is going to be on my player for the rest of my life or at least until Saturday.

Vieux Carré Jazzmen Thursday Update.
Just to let everyone know that commencing Thursday 25 October we are switching our free session at The Millstone from evenings to afternoons (showtime 1.00 - 3.00pm). We're also moving from the upstairs function room to the downstairs lounge where there's an excellent selection of hot meals, snacks, sandwiches, tea & coffee - always a good choice of real ales, too.
British Summertime ends that weekend and the clocks change by 1 hour (shorter days, longer nights) so the afternoon session will have broader appeal throughout the winter.
Frank Vignola & Vinny Raniolo @ Customs House. South Shields. October 9
Frank Vignola & Vinny Raniolo + Joe Peterson (guitars)
(Review by Russell).
It Might as Well be Spring, Stardust, Getting Sentimental Over You the tunes came thick and fast – revue style. No time for introductions, no small talk. Guitarists Frank Vignola and Vinny Raniolo suited (not particularly sharply), stood throughout the performance - not a chair, not a stool in sight. In fact their performance or routine was that of stand up comedians; Vignola the funny man, Raniolo the straight man. The Americans put on a show; scripted wise-cracking, ad-libbing, audience participation. Now, let me make one thing clear…I didn't travel to
South Shields to be entertained, I didn't go out to have
a laugh. After all, I'm a jazz fan! Alright, truth be told, this was good fun.

The visit of these musicians attracted a good audience to the Club. We were delighted to welcome new Jazz enthusiasts who had heard Alyn Shipton on Radio 3 Jazz record requests mention Paul Edis, looked up the PE web discovering he was performing at our Club on Wednesday. This drew them to the venue and along with our regulars they were not disappointed for in adddition we had as vocalist with the Trio the incomparable Ruth Lambert.

Karen Harding @ Monument. October 6
Bright but chilly day in Newcastle. Who should be singing a few numbers at Monument? Karen Harding! Accompanied by guitarist Pawel Jedrzejewski, Ms Harding sang some soulful jazz as Pav supplied the chords and more. A return visit to Hoochie Coochie would make for a good gig. Great voice Karen!
Bad Ass Brass Band @ Hoochie Coochie. Oct. 4.
Five members of Ashington Jazz Club travelled to Newcastle which was overrun with French football fans. We arrived at Hoochie to find that Lance's team from the dugout were at an away match at Blaydon. Warren very kindly gave us the posh leather seats which were reserved for a party who did not turn up. The ladies in our group had forgotten their brollies but still got up dancing from the first number. The atmosphere around Bad Ass Brass was simply amazing! From the moment they came on stage their incredible energy was contagious and their performance was fantastic from start to finish.
Bad Ass Brass is comprised of some of the UK's finest brass players and jazz musicians who are busy working on the London music scene in jazz bands, West End shows, big bands and orchestras and you could feel their strong sense of friendship which results in an electric presence on stage. They play an eclectic mix of tunes with influences from all styles of jazz
Such a strong line up comprising drums, sousaphone, three trumpets, trombone , tenor/soprano/flute and baritone/alto The little girl on baritone had a one leg stand to rest her instrument on which I think she said had been made by her granddad. The baritone was nearly as tall as her!
The band are on a national tour, complete with band bus and all. How does Warren do it? By far the best night at Hoochie for a long time.

Trish Clowes' Nonet @ The Sage. October 5
Trish Clowes (tenor saxophone), Gwilym Simcock (piano), Chris Montague (guitar), Calum Gourlay (double bass), James Maddren (drums) + Thomas Gould (violin), Thea Spiers (violin), Adam Robinson (viola) & Louise McMonagle (cello)
The Sage Gateshead's Northern Rock Foundation Hall readily adapts itself to 'jazz lounge' format for events such as tenor saxophonist Trish Clowes' ambitious project fusing jazz quintet and string quartet. Clowes, not yet thirty, has two CDs to her name, is an assured musician and composer with the added good fortune of being able to attract some of the very best musicians around. And in the Night-Time She is There is Clowes' latest CD and she is currently on the road to promote it. On/Off, Seven and Atlas were played by the quintet (the strings appeared for the second set) with conviction. The leader's tenor playing is unusual, if not remarkable; no big voice horn player - quiet is the word. This demanded the audience listen to every elliptical, sinuous nuance. Pianist Gwilym Simcock played sparingly but when he played he played! Drummer James Maddren relished every brush stroke, guitarist Chris Montague (local lad of Troyka fame) gave a sublime performance – Clowes' suite Iris Nonet in three parts featured a guitar solo of immense beauty (one of those 'I was there' occasions) and the string quartet added an 'out' contemporary new music element. Clowes is a star in the making. Her new-found status as BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist will, no doubt, afford her time to develop other projects. The licence fee payer's money is well spent.

(Review by Lance).
What better gig is there when the bandleader gives you the names of the band and a neatly typed set list with spaces for comments before they even start!
CHBB leader and raconteur Peter Morgan did just that which makes life easier for us reviewers.
It wasn't a full house - how could it be when you had another big band playing about a mile across town? Nevertheless, it was well enough attended to be comfortable and there were several familiar faces in the audience.

Christmas Joy Entry Mat 4 4
Christmas Joy Entry Mat I just received the 2 rugs I ordered to give as Christmas gifts. I am so happy with this purchase that I am keeping one of the rugs for myself. It is described as an entry mat but I will put mine at the kitchen sink or at bottom of the stairs. I don't want muddy shoes wiped on mine! The polypropylene will allow for spot cleaning and this rug will last for a very long time if taken care of. The colors are bright & the quality is excellent for the price. Love this purchase! October 11, 2014
Love it Love the quality of the colors and how easy it is to clean. I own more that one of these entry mats. Maybe will purchase one for each season. Can't find nothing like it in the stores by me. October 17, 2014
Colorful rug - slow delivery We liked this rug when it arrived. Very colorful and more suited to indoor then outside. We had purchased it with the hope of using it at the front door but decided to use it inside and order a cocoa mat for outside. We got a variety of expected delivery dates which kept changing but when it finally shipped, delivery was quick. November 4, 2013
LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! I just love this rug...can't wait to put it out for the holiday!...elegant in a whimsical sort of way. November 4, 2013

It's a race that is getting some national attention.
"The national party for the first time ever has made this a priority swing race," said Tom Perriello, 5th District Candidate (D).
Challenger Tom Perriello hoping to unseat six time incumbent Virgil Goode who is now running for his 7th term in Virginia's 5th district. Goode criticized Perriello, saying he would be part of an Obama congress that wants to raise taxes, but Goode says he does recognize that the political landscape isn't the same in Virginia.
"The voting patterns in Virginia are changing," said Goode.
And that aligning with obama will probably be helpful for Perriello.
"He would be a part of the Obama majority in congress so I think that is a factor in making this a tough race," said Goode.
Perriello attacked Goode on several topics, including immigration, health care, and the war in Iraq, saying Goode is now too much of a Washington insider to meet the needs of the 5th district.
"It's not that he's a bad guy he's just gotten a little out of touch with the amount of money and time he spends up in Washington," said Perriello.
"I'm in touch with the district, I focus my time on being in the 5th district and in Washington," said Goode.
And much like Obama, Perriello is pushing a message of change in Washington, but Goode says he's not a part of old Washington politics.
"We need a new era of politics," said Perriello.
"I consider myself as a voice for the 5th district, independent minded,": said Goode.

Los Angeles police investigating Justin Bieber
Justin Bieber is under investigation after a woman accused the embattled pop singer of trying to steal her cellphone at a family entertainment center, police said Wednesday.
Justin Bieber is under investigation after a woman accused the embattled pop singer of trying to steal her cellphone at a family entertainment center, police said Wednesday.
The woman was taking photos of the singer, and he asked her to stop but didn't accost her, said Howard Weitzman, Bieber's attorney.
Police spokeswoman Rosario Herrera said the woman reported that Bieber, 20, attempted to take the phone Monday night at the facility that features miniature golf, arcades and batting cages in the Sherman Oaks neighborhood.
Bieber was hitting baseballs while the woman photographed him and tried to get him to take a picture with her daughter, Weitzman said.
Weitzman said he looked into the allegations and an employee at the facility reported that the woman was the aggressor.
"I would think this would fade away, given the facts here," he added.
Detectives interviewed the woman Tuesday night. The Police Department's elite Robbery Homicide Division are investigating, and detectives asked the public to step forward with information.
Prosecutors are still considering whether to file charges against Bieber over an egg-throwing incident in January that damaged a neighbor's home in Calabasas.
Bieber is scheduled to go on trial in July in Miami on charges he was driving under the influence and without a valid driver's license in January. He has also been charged in Toronto with assault. Weitzman has said Bieber is innocent in the Toronto case.

1. What's going on this weekend? Anything interesting?
Work...work...and more work. Plus classwork. In a few weeks I have a Saturday off...the WHOLE day off! DH and I are going to a concert that evening, so it should be fun. I am REALLY looking forward to a day off...can you tell? :)
2. Name three scents that you LOVE... :)

this weekend is going to be uneventful. I am taking the girls to the park in 45 mins for a picnic and playtime. I have HW that needs to get started. oh and figure out when to get the housework done.
3 scents:
Aveda rosemary mint shampoo
Tortilla Soup simmering on the stove.
|Sun, 09-12-2010 - 11:14am
Thought I'd pop by and check in!
This weekend - well, I'm sick. Its just a stupid cold, but it put a dent in my running/biking plans. I was supposed to run 9 miles yesterday, bike 35 today and here I am sitting on the couch.
Spent yesterday working on a 6pg handwritten lab report. My chem teacher is slightly insane (and extremely old-school) and makes us write lab reports on these carbon copy notebook pages that we tear out and hand in. She has really strict guidelines and is very EXACT with everything, no leeway, so I hope I did it all right. But oh well, seriously I am only shooting for passing this class.
Today I'm going to work on getting notes and flash cards together for my first mineralogy exam in about two weeks. LOVE that class, really, really LOVE it. Professor is really cool, laid back, explains things well.
Name three scents that you LOVE... :)
- my Bath and Body Works Lemon Vanilla lotion
- Wallflowers Kitchen Spice
- that good old coconut suntan oil smell
|Sun, 09-12-2010 - 4:54pm
Oooo..coffee...I love the smell of coffee. I realize I like a lot of food-oriented scents ;)
I forgot that one of my FAVORITE scents of all time was a spice necklace from Grenada. The scent was seriously intoxicating! It only lasts for a few days because it's made "fresh" (sliced nutmeg, clove, cinnamon, etc.). I was told if you boil it the scent comes back, but sadly, that didn't really work. But that's one of my favorite scents of all time.

I'm an an undomestic goddess of the highest order. I believe I've mentioned that I hate to cook so you probably wouldn't be that surprised to learn that I hate to clean. YET … if you walked into my apartment, you would think it was clean. How do I do make this magical illusion happen? Full disclosure: I do pay someone to deep clean my apartment one to two times a month. It's the most worthwhile $100 I've ever spent. BUT ALSO, I am the master at straightening up. I don't clean, I straighten. If you're like me — unwilling to break out a single cleaning product when you're having company over — then you'll appreciate my super lazy cleaning tips. Use them well and try not to judge me. Keep reading »

We have enjoyed the Palomar in Philadelphia on several occasions; this visit was particularly memorable. The gracious treatment from the staff, the outstanding room and amenities and a location we enjoy is hard to beat. Located in the Rittenhouse Square area makes this a perfect area for walking, shopping, visiting a wide range of restaurants and touring The Barnes (don't forget to buy tickets in advance). All of this plus spectacular September weather made this a lovely visit. Special thanks to Lindsay Black for her role in making this return visit one we truly enjoyed.
