Lit and Phil Latest

The last Lunchtime Jazz concert of the summer at the Lit & Phil in Newcastle is on Friday this week, July 29. 1.00pm to 2.00pm, and it is a fitting closing concert with a solo performance by the series organiser and pianist Paul Edis.
Paul is a familiar player in many line-ups, whether it's as leader in his piano trio, his sextet or Triptych, or as keyboard or clarinet player or accompanist is so many other line-ups. But his piano solo playing (which featured on BBC Radio 3's Jazz Record Requests from last year's the Gateshead Jazz Festival) is something special. 
For those of you who missed the launch of Paul's Solo Double CD "Not Like Me / Just Like Me" at the Lit and Phil last November, this is a chance to catch up with some of the new (and familiar) numbers on it; for those who were there it a chance to sample again part of that excellent presentation.
Both CDs were recorded at the Lit and Phil so this is a real 'coming home'. They feature many of Paul's own compositions as well as familiar Jazz standards like Giant Steps, Round Midnight and My Favourite Things, and pieces with a classical inflection like Percy Grainger's Country Garden and Greensleeves (although the latter for me is more another Coltrane reference.
I'm sure this will be a very enjoyable closure to this summer season, and I hope many of you will be able to make it. (I'll miss it as I'm away on holiday on Thursday, but look forward to seeing you again in September.)

Submissions for review

Whilst we appreciate the many emails, texts, messages and other communications we receive requesting album/gig reviews on BSH, regrettably, we are unable to reply to them all other than those we are able to answer with a positive response.
Similarly, CDs received by post will only be considered if accompanied by sufficient background material.
Finally, bear in mind that this is a jazz-based site when submitting your album.

About this blog - contact details.

Bebop Spoken Here -- Here, being the north-east of England -- centred in the blues heartland of Newcastle and reaching down to the Tees Delta and looking upwards to the Land of the Kilt.
Not a very original title, I know; not even an accurate one as my taste, whilst centred around the music of Bird and Diz, extends in many directions and I listen to everything from King Oliver to Chick Corea and beyond. Not forgetting the Great American Songbook the contents of which has provided the inspiration for much great jazz and quality popular singing for round about a century.
The idea of this blog is for you to share your thoughts and pass on your comments on discs, gigs, jazz - music in general. If you've been to a gig/concert or heard a CD that knocked you sideways please share your views with us. Tell us about your favourites, your memories, your dislikes.
