Bebop Spoken There

Piers Paul Read: "Bruce Reynolds and Biggs shared an interest in Sex, Jazz and Hemingway." - (The Train Robbers by Piers Paul Read, Coronet Books 1979.)

George Shearing: "Speaking about Johann Sebastian Bach I think he'd be a real jazzer if he were alive today. I mean any man who has two wives, twenty kids, gets kicked out of the church for being too harmonically radical and drinks beer can't be all wrong can he?" - (Crescendo March 1984.)

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.

Paul Edis Trio @ Jazz Café - March 6

Paul Edis (piano); Mick Shoulder (bass); Russ Morgan (drums)
The Jazz trio format is a timeless genre and when it works as it certainly did at the Jazz Cafe on Friday night it is a pure joy. A small but select audience were able to enjoy the Paul Edis Trio without the unwanted accompaniment of the shouting masses at the back of the caff – not good for business maybe but great for those who paid to listen. The trio played a selection of Edis compositions and standards including Edelweiss as a tribute to the 50th anniversary of the Sound of Music. Regular bassist Mick Shoulder played with style and sensitivity and guest drummer Russ Morgan was outstanding. Edis’s charmingly relaxed introductions to the tunes in each set just added to enjoyment of the evening. A good time had by all.
Steve.

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.
