Bebop Spoken There

Ludovic Beier (Django Festival Allstars): ''Manouche means 'free man,' and gypsies have been travelers since they migrated west from India to Europe.'' (DownBeat March, 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

18383 (and counting) posts since we started blogging 18 years ago. 247 of them this year alone and, so far this month (Mar. 17 ), 57

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

Pink Lane Jazz Co-op January Gigs

First Friday @No 28 on 3 Jan, admission free
A lively night at one of Newcastle's coolest bars with Blue Jazz Quintet.  Why not make this a Pink Lane Jazz Coop party before the festive party season finally comes to an end? 
Saturday Jazz @Salsa on 11, 18 and 25 Jan, admission free
The popular jazz nights at Salsa Café and Tapas Bar continue from 11 Jan with three excellent trios.
Sunday jam sessions @Salsa 3-6pm, admission free
Bring your instrument and join in, or just enjoy the vibe.
Final Friday @Jazz Café on 31 Jan, admission £4.50
We're arranging the live music at the Jazz Café on the final Friday of each month. This month it's top Tyneside vocalist Lindsay Hannon.
New Year's Eve @Jazz Café admission £6
This isn't really a Pink Lane Jazz Coop event but the owners of the Jazz Café asked if we could pull together a few musicians for a late night session.  Live music starts at 11pm and we're expecting various excellent local musicians to drop by.
