Back in the 1950s the Kenton Band paid its first visit to Newcastle City Hall. All the local brassmen were in awe of the power and range of the American trumpet players. In between sets, a local jazzman - he may have been a drummer - said to one of the starry-eyed horn players; "You ain't heard nothin' yet; for the second set they put their mouthpieces in."

Bebop Spoken There
Kurt Elling: ''There's something to learn from every musician you play with''. (DownBeat, December 2024).
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)

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
