Bebop Spoken There

Gary Bartz: ''Charlie Parker was my introduction to the religion of music. And so he's always with me .'' - Downbeat November 2025.

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

Rosie's Just Keeps Getting Rosier when those Maine Street Jazzmen and Women strut their stuff.

Olive Rudd (vcl), Herbie Hudson (tmb), Jim McBriarty (clt/vcl), Malcolm Armstrong (pno), Alan Rudd (bs), Mike Humble (dms).
Another storming session at Rosie's with the band driving along on lots of good old good ones. Mike Humble on drums keeps things solid and Alan Rudd excelled with his bass solo on Sunny Side of the Street. Herbie crooned and growled Makin' Whoopee whilst Jim did the vocal business on - OMG remind me someone! Sorry Jim an intermediate moment.
As for Olive she Met Me Tonight In Dreamland, Back In Your Own Backyard, wearing Shiny Stockings to mention but some of her vocal activities.
Another fine afternoon at Rosie's.
Lance.
