Paul Edis & Graham Hardy at the Newcastle Lit & Phil

Having mentioned the Lit & Phil in my last post, it seems fitting that I should visit there for my second jazz concert within twenty four hours.

On this occasion we were in the presence of a great jazz pianist, Paul Edis and his equally great partner for the afternoon, Graham Hardy who played trumpet and flugelhorn.

As you can see from the program of music, and being 14th February, they had something of a Valentine theme going on, though we were assured that this was somewhat coincidental.







Whatever the theme, the music was truly wonderful with both of these musicians really being at the very top of their game. Normally they are both members of the Paul Edis Sextet who released an album, 'There Will Be Time' a couple of years ago. Paul has also more recently released his own solo album, 'Not Like Me'.


The next album from the sextet is due out this Spring. I recommend that you try to seek these albums out or better still catch them live if you possibly can.
