This year’s line-up at Mud Fest (aka Glastonbury) includes some jazz interest. Follow it all on BBC television and radio. Saturday 27 June is the day to catch Mr Gregory Porter strutting his stuff (tune to BBC 2 from 4:30pm, then on the red button). At seven o’clock retune to BBC 4 for Burt Bacharach, followed at eight by Paloma Faith. Mr Wonderful – Pharrell Williams – is sure to be Happy sometime after half past nine (retune to BBC 2).
Monday night (June 29) A Strange, Enchanted Boy (Radio 4 Extra, 8:30pm) looks at the life of eden ahbez. Known for penning Nat Cole’s big hit, Ahbez wanted to be known as lower case eden ahbez. cool.

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.
