Bebop Spoken There

Jim Keltner: “I was snatched right out of the jazz world. I shouldn't say snatched, I went willingly, I ran. From $85 a week to $250 a week, that gets your attention." - (JazzTimes, September 2021)

The Things They Say!

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

Rupert Burley (Dynamic Agency): "BSH just goes from strength to strength".

'606' Club: "A toast to Lance Liddle of the terrific jazz blog 'Bebop Spoken Here'"

The Strictly Smokin' Big Band included Be Bop Spoken Here (sic) in their 5 Favourite Jazz Blogs.

Vote in the 26th British Jazz Awards.

It's time to vote in the 26th Jazz Awards organised by Big Bear Records and Jazz Rag magazine.
To take part and vote for your favourite singer, instrumentalist, band, CD, first follow the link for the list of nominations - you have 4 to choose from in each category or you can, of course, make your own choice
Polls are good fun and have advanced from the days when Tommy Steele was, reportedly, voted ahead of Barney Kessel in the guitar section of a Melody Maker Poll!
On October 27, the winners will be presented with their awards at the Concorde Club, Southampton which lays claim to being the oldest jazz club in Britain having been going since 1957.
Vote here.
Lance.

I think you should make up your mind BEFORE you see the nominations thus avoiding being brainwashed!
