Bebop Spoken There

Alan Barnes: "Normally you can cobble a set together with five guys on the back of an envelope over the first pint and it's just fine. Livestreaming isn't like that." - (Jazzwise July 2021)

Downbeat - July Edition

The July edition of Downbeat is an absolute gem. It's the mags 75th anniversary edition and contains articles and photos from past editions. Ellington, Goodman, Basie, Anita, Billie, Bird, etc. etc. to Zappa and Benny Golson. Whisper Not but that this has to be the best four quidsworth on the newstands (in Newcastle it's at Fenwicks) for the past 75 years.

Hi Lance

Yes, Down Beat's 75th edition is great. The Discovery Museum's 75th celebrations were of a similar quality!

I picked up mine yesterday but I've restrained myself from reading it yet as I have a loooooooooong coach journey to Switzerland on Monday! It looks like a must-have item though....
