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.

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

About this blog - contact details.

Bebop Spoken Here -- Here, being the north-east of England -- centred in the blues heartland of Newcastle and reaching down to the Tees Delta and looking upwards to the Land of the Kilt.
Not a very original title, I know; not even an accurate one as my taste, whilst centred around the music of Bird and Diz, extends in many directions and I listen to everything from King Oliver to Chick Corea and beyond. Not forgetting the Great American Songbook the contents of which has provided the inspiration for much great jazz and quality popular singing for round about a century.
The idea of this blog is for you to share your thoughts and pass on your comments on discs, gigs, jazz - music in general. If you've been to a gig/concert or heard a CD that knocked you sideways please share your views with us. Tell us about your favourites, your memories, your dislikes.

Submissions for review

Whilst we appreciate the many emails, texts, messages and other communications we receive requesting album/gig reviews on BSH, regrettably, we are unable to reply to all of them other than those we are able to answer with a positive response.
Similarly, CDs received by post will only be considered if accompanied by sufficient background material.
Finally, bear in mind that this is a jazz-based site when submitting your album.
