Bebop Spoken There
Gary Bartz: ''Music is nature's gift to man. It's the only religion. We're living in a terrible era, but what a beautiful thing music is. Look how it brings us together like religion is supposed to; and with no language barriers.'' (Jazzwise September, 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
18918 (and counting) posts since we started blogging 18 years ago. 782 of them this year alone and, so far this month (Sept. 18.) 61.
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

Yes I think Lady Gaga should stick to her usual singing if this is anything to go by. 'Someone to watch over Me' sounds more like an over-dramatised ballad, especially at the end. Maybe she should go to Lindsay Hannon's classes at the Sage to learn how to do it properly, or go to the Jazz Cafe on Sundays. Just imagine that!
Yes she'd get straightened out at the Jazz Café - perhaps I should rephrase that...
Yes, but...I remember live footage of a guitar band in Hamburg - sounded crap, but they done good in the end. Perhaps she just needs tuition?
Yeh,yeh yeh but they didn't cut it jazzwise either!
