Gilles Peterson and whats next for jazz?

This should be interesting! So jazz is hip (some of us say it always has been). Listen in. If you want to hear more then just come to some of the brilliant Northern Jazz club gigs listed on this blog...

"Following reports of a "jazz renaissance" among younger listeners, what makes this moment in jazz so exciting and especially worth celebrating? And why is now a great time to discover the genre altogether?

This weekend, Gilles Peterson celebrates the thriving UK jazz scene with a live special from Maida Vale, featuring performances from luminaries like Joe Armon-Jones, Nubya Garcia, Oscar Jerome, Ishmael Ensemble and one-off collaborations with Fatima, Hak Baker and Gilles' all-star house band. Tune in from 3pm on Saturday 20 October BBC Radio 6 Music"

Newcastle's Jazz Cafe on the move

News from the Jazz Cafe in Newcastle....

You may have already heard the rumours... Yes they are true we are moving!

The Cafe has had it's roots on Pink Lane for over 25 years now and it has outgrown the current premises. The current venue will be split into two levels, ground floor for takeouts or a quick cuppa and an upper mezzanine, cosy and full of character, for lunch or reading the paper will provide some Saturday afternoon live jazz duos. Chef Natalie will still be making her famous cakes and scones!

The live jazz concerts will move in with the Black Swan Basement Bar and Venue on Wesgate Road which is currently undergoing some changes to give it the 1920's vibe with a new stage in the main bar and the larger venue with its capacity of 200, better access for all and a larger stage so we will be able to host larger touring bands along with some old favourites. Not to mention the off street courtyard to enjoy lunch or an evening drink (when the summer arrives of cause)

The Jazz Cafe's last day on Pink Lane will be Saturday 27th of Oct and will reopen in the new venue on Tuesday 6th Nov. Tuesdays Jam on the 30th of Oct will take place in the new home at the Black Swan, 69 Westgate Rd.

Thank you for your support of the Jazz Cafe over the past years and we hope you will come and see us in our new home.
