Bebop Spoken There

Steve Race: "The non-musician critic knows how music ought to sound. But he cannot possibly know how it feels to create it. He is in the position of the marriage guidance counsellor who has never been married." – (Jazz News, June 6th 1962).

Jazz Mags Looking for a Home

Hi Lance. Hope you are OK and Happy New Year!
I mentioned before that I was sorting out my old jazz mags from the 1960's and 70's.
Do you know if anyone would want them? I wouldn't want anything for them and the alternative is to throw them out. They are listed below, also included are a number of souvenir programs and jazz record listings, plus volume 1 to 6 of Dave Carey's Jazz Directory.  If you know of anyone I could meet them halfway (I live near Alnwick) to hand them over.

Jazz Journal  112 Copies
Jazz Journal International  11 Copies
Jazz Monthly   64 Copies
Downbeat   56 Copies
Jazz Beat   21 Copies
Jazz And Blues   5 Copies
Jazz  (Leonard Feather)  3 Copies.

  1. We're in the same boat - us and every other jazzer of a certain age. Like yourself, I've got volumes of those mags going back to the 1940s. I tried to offload mine onto the Jazz Archive that Digby runs in Essex but they seem to have accrued just about every magazine and Jazz related book in existence. They've probably got a few Buddy Bolden cylinders! Actually, yours is a request I get very often. The problem is, we're all of an age where we start thinking of offloading, reluctantly, our treasures. I've got LPs, CDs, even 78s that it would break my heart to part with but, what do I do?
    There's some great young jazz musicians coming along but they're more interested in playing rather than reading about it (other than on the internet). And jazz, for young non-players, doesn't exist. Perhaps there should be a time capsule where all this material could be stored and opened in a 100 year's time? As it happens, I've just started putting my cycling magazines[my other interest] in the bin so I honestly don't hold out much hope. Nevertheless, I will post it and see what happens.

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.
