Bebop Spoken There

Victor Wooten: "People don't expect to have bass players get together and sound like music and not just like a bunch of elephants" (JazzTimes April, 2022)

The Things They Say!

Hudson Music: Lance's "Bebop Spoken Here" is one of the heaviest and most influential jazz blogs in the UK.

Birdflight.

Just wondering if readers know about a website run by Phil Schaap the American jazz historian and obsessive world-wide authority on the life & music of Charlie Parker? Phil broadcasts a programme each week-day called "Birdflight" on US radio station WKCR dedicated to playing & studying all of Bird's recordings from all sources in chronological order.
Each show lasts about 1hr 20mins and some of them can be heard online on www.philschaapjazz.com (go into the Radio Archives). You will need stamina because Phil can talk (and talk and talk)! He often uses an entire broadcast to disect a tiny detail of Birdlore!
