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.

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.

Just before Beryl Bryden died in July 1998 she came to
Ashington Jazz Club (not to sing) but with her pianist Tony Raine (real
name Ramm?). He was a non-reader but could put a jazz style to any tune. Tony
was from Newbiggin and has been in a care home there for quite a while.
He has now passed away. He was a great character and played piano in some
of the London gangland clubs in the 60s. He was reputed to have had Louis
Armstrong's gold ring. The funeral takes place on Wednesday and I intend to go
to represent the jazz community.
