January's most viewed posts

Two posts dominated the most viewed statistics in January and for two very different reasons. By far the most significant post was the announcement that much loved saxist John Wheeler had died. The one post none of us expected. Sad as this was, it let the world know the legacy John left us. Not just as a musician but as a lovely person. RIP.
The other item was the posts surrounding the highly successful Jazz North East Fund Raising event both before and after. Good that it was so well supported.
Also well viewed were reviews of:
Mark Williams and Claude Werner at the Jazz Café; Mo Scott at the Bridge and forthcoming events at Hoochie Coochie.

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.
