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

Jazz Co-op @ The Globe: Folk Meets Jazz has now Morphed

I thought that headline would get your attention: now read on.  This evening has now become Folk Meets Acoustic, which we at the Co-op thought would reflect the evening more accurately, and which shows that we have our fingers on the musical pulse, so to speak.  So come along on the 1st Thursday of the month, which just happens to be Thursday 7th this week, for folk music (unaccompanied song, guitar whistle, fiddle, maybe even my ukulele) blues, rock, original songs: and of course jazz is still more than welcome.
Be there for 8pm, Raffle £1.
