Bebop Spoken There

Christian McBride: ''We knew back in the day that Emmet [Cohen] had it.'' (DownBeat July, 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

Yorkshire Heritage Coast Jazz festival

Join the Vieux Carré Jazzmen on a day trip to the Yorkshire Heritage Coast Jazz Festival in the beautiful North Yorkshire fishing village of Staithes on Saturday 25 May. 
Our coach will depart Whitley Bay Town Centre (opp. The Victoria) at 10.00am and pick up at The Corner House, Heaton, at 10.20am.

You can choose to take a stroll around the village, call in for a tipple at the Cod and Lobster public house and sample their excellent fish ‘n’ chips. Owner of the nearby Captain Cook Inn, Neil Readman, informs me that on the day there'll be 15 cask ales available along with hot food and sandwiches.
The Vieux Carré Jazzmen take to the stage at 12.30pm to perform 2 x 60 minute sets of stomping, traditional New Orleans jazz.
