Bebop Spoken There
Brian Harvey: "The exciting day arrived and we [as under age school boys] snuck into the [pub's] rehearsal room, sat awkwardly to attention on hard chairs in a row facing the band and heard our first - very loud - live jazz. What an occasion that was - we even drank beer because we understood that's what jazz people did and that's what the band were drinking." - (Just Jazz June 2020)
Dave Rempis: “Ten years from now, I can see musicians streaming concerts in real time and charging a minimal amount for people to watch.” -(DownBeat September 2013)
Hudson Music:Lance's "Bebop Spoken Here" is one of the heaviest and most influential jazz blogs in the UK.
Rupert Burley (Dynamic Agency):"BSH just goes from strength to strength".
Today
As we all know there are no live gigs taking place in the immediate future. However, any links to jazz streaming that are deemed suitable - i.e. with a professional approach - will be considered for posting.
1 (Spoken in a voice much too posh for Jacky) This minimalist drum kit actually duals as a drinks cabinet. I've stocked it up with "Broons" & I think I'll ask the sax player to my right to help me consume it 2 If we ever do a gig at the Elephant together tell them I'll do it as long as there is a roady to carry my gear 3 "Gordon - how could you ever let these guys sit in with the River city?"

Answers included: 1)Now we're a rock band. Hope the tide doesn't come in.
2) What did you say your name was?
3) Who's pinching my bum?
Belated caption to 1) "I didn't realise there were that many f.....g notes in a chord."
(Andy had said just blow a chord for the photo.)
