Bebop Spoken There

James Brandon Lewis: "Sometimes I'm not thinking about anything other than blowing the paint off the walls, and other times I'm narrating a story about my life." - (DownBeat June 2023).

How High The Moon?

Logging on to SHOUTcast, the site that collates all the jazz on-line radio stations, has been a positive delight this evening. Particularly the station Bebop - S K Y . F M - swinging to the sounds....Listening to Dexter Gordon, Sonny Criss, Serge Chaloff, Oscar Peterson, Red Rodney, Milt Jackson, Cannonball and countless others from my favoured idiom more than made up for the Val Doonican style sweater that Santa dropped down the chimney.
Check SHOUTcast out and this site in particular.
Lance.
PS: Honestly it's a really lovely sweater honey...
