Bebop Spoken There
Melissa Aldana: ''Having to play a ballads album, which is something very revealing for a saxophone player, would help me to question some new aspects of how to go deeper into sound." (DownBeat May, 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)

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

for me..
John Coltrane & Johnny Hartman
"My one and only love"
gets me every time!
Liz
This is my fav and a must for all trumpet players
The Fourth Chair Trumpet Player
Kev
This is a longer version. I think it;s so funny especially about band leaders!
My current favourite is Paul Weller and Amy Winehouse 'Don't Go To Strangers' from 2006. Get out your paper hankies before you listen to Amy. We're doing this song at jazz singing just now, but not like this!
Ann Alex
Hi Lance, My you tube pick is Trumpet Battle Charlie Shavers & Buck Clayton.
Miles.
ps Kevin's 4th trumpet is very close to home.
