Many thanks to all the jazz people that have contributed to Bebop Spoken Here. Not just this year, but since we started in 2008.
We're a disparate team, all with different views of the music whilst at the same time respecting the others' opinion even if we don't agree with it.
Likewise, those who complete the obstacle course to post a comment, are always welcome - your views are important.
But, most of all, we say thank you to the musicians who have provided us with the music to write about irrespective of whether it be at a dimly lit bar in a side street or a festival performance in the Sage One auditorium you guys keep the faith and we try to maintain it.
So, have a great Christmas and New Year but, if you're drinking and driving, make sure the reindeer's sober.
Lance.
The cartoon is by my dear friend the late Bill Shaw who died this year. One of the most talented persons I have known, whether it be as drummer, artist or street philosopher. Bill was a special person.
