Bebop Spoken There

Dave Puddy: "Eventually we paid our entrance money [to Eel Pie Island] and fought our way to one of the many bars where we could buy our Newcastle Brown and retire to the back of the heaving dancefloor. There must have been lights somewhere, but my memory remains of being in some dark cavernous wonderland." - (Just Jazz July 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)

The Things They Say!

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".

Postage

11,612 (and counting) posts since we started blogging just over 12 years ago. 747 of them this year alone and, so far, 11 this month (July 3).

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.

Jazz Café Jam

Pete Gilligan (pno), Paul Grainger (bs), Claire Kelly (vcl) + (in approx. order of appearance) David Gray (tmb), Omad Ramik (dms), Rob Bates (dms), Alan Law (pno), Don Forbes (tpt), Ivan Scutt (bs), Stuart Findon (ten), Fiona Littlewood (ten), Lindsay Hannon (vcl) etc.
The session began low key with the two PG's giving tips to Claire who - Glory Hallelujah! - sang Love Me Or Leave Me in the way that it should be sang i.e. slow and laid back. Anita O'Day has a lot to answer for!
Pete and Paul did some nice things to Early Autumn and Dave the trombone slid his way around Speak Low. Don Forbes blew a tender Tenderly as well as having a blast on Anthropology. David featured on Caravan by which time Stuart and Fiona had unwrapped tenors and were working out on Four.
Sadly it was now time to leave - The Sage beckoned...
