DUNDEE JAZZ FESTIVAL - 1987

This review of the Dundee Jazz Festival at the Rep, comes from an NME dated June 1987.
The acts mentioned are - TOMMY SMITH'S FORWARD MOTION - COURTNEY PINE - TAM WHITE - TED HAWKINS - STAN TRACEY - and Dundee's own, HAVANA SWING.
Plenty well known names on the bill that year.
The piece was written by local music journalist, Bob Flynn.
I think you should be able to read it ok as it is, but anyone struggling can click onto the image to view the large version.

  1. I couldn't bear to see a posting without a comment, but then I hate jazz and I wasn't too keen on Bob Flynn.

  2. When you say the word JAZZ, it sounds like "JAWS" if said in an oary Dundee lingo.
    So speaking about Jazz to a Dundondian may get them thinking about a film on the subject of sharks!
