Bebop Spoken There

Ludovic Beier (Django Festival Allstars): ''Manouche means 'free man,' and gypsies have been travelers since they migrated west from India to Europe.'' (DownBeat March, 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)

18383 (and counting) posts since we started blogging 18 years ago. 247 of them this year alone and, so far this month (Mar. 17 ), 57

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

Whitley Bay Classic Jazz Party Videos.

The Whitley Bay Classic Jazz Party 2012 is, this year, on the weekend of October 26-28. The format is as of last year's highly successful event and the limited 280 tickets are already being pared down. With 32 musicians from 8 different countries it looks good. However, if you're at all hesitant, go to the Jazz Lives website and check out these clips from last year. Looks and sounds good doesn't it?
For details of this years event go to www.whitleybayjazzfest.org.
