This Saturday @ Trinity Church

Now that a thaw seems to have set in, and if the "Jazz at the Exchange" regulars are experiencing "withdrawal symptoms" after the cancelled concert last Friday, perhaps they might like to consider catching the dynamic Armstrong-style London-based trumpeter Enrico Tomasso, playing with the great North East reedman Steve Andrews and his Swing City Trio at the Trinity Centre, Gosforth High Street, this Saturday (January 16th) at 8.00pm.
Tickets are £10, and this is a nice new venue with bar facilities. You can reserve a seat by phoning 0191 285 6130, but places are limited to the first 130 people and previous jazz events there have sold out, so an early call might be advisable ...
See you at the Saville Exchange on February 5th I hope for the Roly Veitch/John Hallam concert!

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.

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 all of them 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.
