A couple from north of Hadrian's Wall.

Tommy Smith plugging his new album: http://living.scotsman.com/features/...39s.6738645.jp

Chris Wallace of Edinburgh trio NeWt on their collaboration and forthcoming tour with Silke Eberhard: http://www.heraldscotland.com/arts-e...peal-1.1088152 Worth catching if they're in your part of the world, although Eberhard's only playing on the first half of the tour: the other dates are just the trio. The Manchester gig (with Eberhard) is being recorded for Jo3.

[Old Grumpy]

Aye, 'twas a good gig. Shame he didn't have the second half as well (the Mike Stern Band took the stage). He also recorded a Jazz Library interview with Alyn Shipton which will be aired some time in the future. Interesting CD too.

Jon3 wins special programme award at Sonys .... some thin else eh?

A well-informed and engaging adventure into the sometimes esoteric world
of contemporary jazz. Spiky, surprising, sensational event radio.

what the judges said innit .... who are we to disagree

i am sure that Jez and his crew of muzak flogging creatives with a thin recording approach are delighted ....

[Byas'd Opinion]

Bill Evans interview in the Glasgow Herald: Miles Davis, Tommy Smith, and why he decided it was better to be a sax player than a pianist.

I was going to be a pianist originally, so if I’d kept that up and still played with Miles it might have been even more confusing
