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

Brass Musicians Required for Video Shoot

I have a music video project being filmed on Saturday (May 21st) where I require brass players with a particular alternative look, aged 20s/30s!
As I am also getting particularly desperate here I am considering trying to hire instruments and have my friends pretend to play them. I would prefer real players, but I’ll take anything at the moment to make this happen.
So as a second question, are there any repair shops that may hire nonfunctioning instruments (I figure those are more likely to be hireable although they would still be well looked after) or even functioning instruments that could be hired!
