Bebop Spoken There

Ludovic Beier (Django Festival Allstars): ''Manouche means 'free man,' and gypsies have been travelers since they migrated west from India to Europe.'' (DownBeat March, 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

18383 (and counting) posts since we started blogging 18 years ago. 247 of them this year alone and, so far this month (Mar. 17 ), 57

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

Who were the young singers on the BBC's Johnny Mercer Tribute?

Who were the young singers on the Johnny Mercer programme besides Melody Gardot and Paolo Nutini? Could you help?
Many thanks,

It was actually the program that preceded the Mercer film that I think you are referring to - These I think are the names you are looking for.
Claire Martin — Cheek to Cheek
Claire Martin — The Lady Is A Tramp
José James — Just Squeeze Me (But Don't Tease Me)
Sharleen Spiteri — God Bless the Child
Sharleen Spiteri — September in the Rain
Krystle Warren — Love For Sale
Krystle Warren — A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square
Gwyneth Herbert — Love Me or Leave Me
