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

SPACE IS THE PLACE - Jazz Night @ the City Arts & Music Project

Bebop Spoken Here doesn't often venture south of the Yorkshire Ouse however, we do have a number of site regulars from sunnier climes so that when one of them contacts us we do like to show willing.
Aya, a mystical figure from EC1, waxes eloquently about a London venue - a café, bar, arts & music space @ 70 - 74 City Rd, London, EC1Y 2BJ.
It's a Wednesday gig and Aya has the following events lined up.
AUGUST
25 Rick Simpson Quartet Leading UK pianist plays contemporary standards and his own originals.
Gigs are free and - I'm led to believe 8PM until Midnight.
Worth making a note of if you live in the capital or are planning a trip down - might see you there sometime.
Lance.
