Bebop Spoken There

Joe Alterman: ''All I wanted to do growing up was to sound like Erroll Garner playing "Poor Butterfly." I thought that was the coolest sound I'd ever heard.'' (DownBeat November, 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)

Postage

19,086 (and counting) posts since we started blogging 18 years ago. 950 of them this year alone and, so far this month (Nov. 7) 20.

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

Daryl Sherman on Facebook

Newsflash!! Waldorf management is moving the CP Steinway to their Peacock Alley venue. I've been asked to inaugurate this with a special Cole Porter birthday event --which I always love doing. 
My colleagues who've been there regularly will continue to play nightly- now happily on that piano. With it more accessible -- even more folks can enjoy the music and ambiance. 
Saturday June 9, 7:30 - 9pm I'll tinkle and sing oodles of CP songs and spread good karma that Porter's tradition at the Waldorf will continue for years to come. 
Daryl
However, if you can't make it to Peacock Alley then The Sage, Gateshead on July 16 is the place to be.
Book now.
Lance.
