Bebop Spoken There
Christian McBride: ''We knew back in the day that Emmet [Cohen] had it.'' (DownBeat July, 2026)
The Things They Say!
This is a good opportunity to say thanks to BSH for their support of the jazz scene in the North East (and beyond) - it's no exaggeration to say that if it wasn't for them many, many fine musicians, bands and projects across a huge cross section of jazz wouldn't be getting reviewed at all, because we're in the "desolate"(!) North. (M & SSBB on F/book 23/12/24)
Postage
18767 (and counting) posts since we started blogging 18 years ago. 631 of them this year alone and, so far this month (July 31) 95.
Reviewers wanted
Whilst BSH attempts to cover as many gigs, festivals and albums as possible, to make the site even more comprehensive we need more 'boots on the ground' to cover the albums seeking review - a large percentage of which never get heard - report on gigs or just to air your views on anything jazz related. Interested? then please get in touch. Contact details are on the blog.
Look forward to hearing from you. Lance

Is Ann de Vere a vocalist? I am sure we have heard her singing some years ago here in York.
More than likely. Anne is a fine interpretor of the GASB and has performed throughout the north. Pianist Bill was, for many years, an automatic choice to provide the backing for visiting American jazz artists.
