"When drummer Tony Levin died early last year, he was mourned by musicians across the whole of the jazzspectrum, and a memorial concert in his honour brought together a host of leading players from the UK and Europe. This quartet was specially assembled for that concert, and proved to be such an inspired grouping that the four members decided to reassemble for a short UK tour, and it’s great news that Jazz North East have grabbed them for this Central Bar gig." - Jazz Alert.

The Telegraph On-line Says that Bebop Spoken Here is one of the 5 Liveliest Jazz Blogs in UK!...

"Bebop Spoken Here: Oop-Bop-sh-Bam: Lance Liddle, a retired music retailer, covers the scene in the North-East. He’s been blogging for just over a year. He has played tenor sax for years, including a stint in the Newcastle big band when a teenage bass player now called Sting was getting his chops together. Lance is from Hebburn outside Newcastle. His site covers a huge number of gigs in the region. Definitely worth bookmarking is Lance’s stupendous collection of old photos and memorabilia."

To be honest, this has rather made my day!
