Sunday, 18th March at The Walnut: Emily Bacon’s Good Time Jazz Gang

March 14, 2018 By Peter Butler Leave a Comment

Note: Sadly, due to atrocious weather, Tad has reluctantly had to cancel this Walnut Tree event. He will be offering Emily and the band a new date at the earliest opportunity.

The Bacons: Down from Tyneside for the day!

Not too long ago Paul and Liz Bacon were known as “The Mississippi Dreamboats”.
But time has seen the band evolve and now their daughter Emily on piano and vocals heads up “The Good Time Jazz Gang”.

They are still rooted in New Orleans jazz, inspired by the bands of the 40s, 50s and 60s.
Emily’s vocal repertoire includes well known jazz standards, blues and spirituals.

HELP US KEEP JAZZ LIVE AND ALIVE!

Popular belief is that Jazz has had its day. Not so! There are plenty of great bands on the jazz circuits - playing at Concerts, Clubs, Festivals. People say the musicians and fans are past their sell by dates and don’t attract younger audiences. Again, not so! There is a Jazz Revival! Numerous younger bands with growing numbers of enthusiastic young fans are making their mark.

Jazz&Jazz is dedicated to keeping jazz LIVE AND ALIVE. We value exchanges of views on all things jazz. You can make your comments by using the “Speak Your Mind” option below each post.

But as Jazz&Jazz coverage increases incrementally in quality as well as quantity so do costs - travel, photography, videos, subscriptions, booking and ticket prices.

CONTRIBUTIONS to help cover costs would therefore be greatly appreciated. Jazz&Jazz also features JAZZ ART, sales of which help finance expenses.

RECENT ACCOLADES

“Jazz & Jazz” is an invaluable platform for news about young bands and musicians. It’s a great way for organisers like me to know what is going on! The enthusiasm of Peter Butler is inspirational and infectious and has certainly done much to boost the reputation of Fest Jazz beyond the boundaries of Brittany. Long may the site continue and flourish!”
Trevor Stent, Good Time Jazz

“Dear Peter, You have embarked on a lonely road. There have been few people painting New Orleans musicians over the years. There was one guy named Frank Caunce … in the 1965 - 72 period who was very good but not as organised as you. So keep doing what you are doing.”
Barry Martyn, New Orleans

Martin Bennett, The Old Green River Band

“Fantastic Peter, you've got a talent for capturing people! Perhaps I need to have a shave!!!
