Bebop Spoken There

Béla Fleck: “ And that's the great thing about live performances, you take people on a journey. It doesn't have to be like something else they've heard. It's not supposed to be". DownBeat, April, 2024.

The Things They Say!

Hudson Music: Lance's "Bebop Spoken Here" is one of the heaviest and most influential jazz blogs in the UK.

Tonight @ The Cherry Tree

I think there might be some Funk on the menu tonight with the Charles Gordon Quartet. Charles is into Herbie Hancock and with Kenny Hewitt on tenor, Keith Nicholson on bass and Lloyd Howell on drums it isn't going to be a vicarage tea party - it will get the adren. moving and complement the food.
Further CT news - Jo Harrup has been such a success on her three previous visits to the restaurant that the management have managed to book her for another visit before the end of the year, on the 13th December. They are particularly fortunate to have been able to arrange this as Jo is very much in demand not least with her present residency at the Savoy Hotel in London.
At the Cherry Tree Jo will, at her own request, again be supported by the Paul Edis Trio.
Lance.
