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)

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

Single Review: Bunny Sigler - Angel Eyes

We don't normally review singles as let's face it, jazz people rarely release singles these days. However, this version of that old late night barroom classic, Angel Eyes, by Philadelphia R & B singer Bunny Sigler, kind of hits the spot the way a straight Jack Daniels hits an empty stomach. Oh, and, the promo video is great with lots of 30s/40s black and white images of NYC streets and night clubs.
Angel Eyes is actually part of a soon to be released album appropriately titled Young at Heart. The single's available via the usual suspects from August 18
