Bebop Spoken There

Jim Keltner: “I was snatched right out of the jazz world. I shouldn't say snatched, I went willingly, I ran. From $85 a week to $250 a week, that gets your attention." - (JazzTimes, September 2021)

The Things They Say!

Hudson Music: Lance's "Bebop Spoken Here" is one of the heaviest and most influential jazz blogs in the UK.

Rupert Burley (Dynamic Agency): "BSH just goes from strength to strength".

'606' Club: "A toast to Lance Liddle of the terrific jazz blog 'Bebop Spoken Here'"

The Strictly Smokin' Big Band included Be Bop Spoken Here (sic) in their 5 Favourite Jazz Blogs.

ECM Invasion

Just when this chap [me!] felt he had every CD in the world awaiting review along comes a package with, not 1, not 2, but 6 ECM releases! Like the fabled camel and the straw this was 6 CDs too many so, rather than just ignore such a prestigious label as ECM, I've linked them up to source so readers can read about them, listen to samples and, maybe, part with their euros.
Here are the links:
Nik Bärtsch's Ronin - Awase. ECM 2603.
Ketil Bjornstad - A Suite of Poems. ECM 2440.
Kristjan Randalu - Absence. ECM 2586.
Marc Sinan - White. ECM 2558.
Elina Duni - Partir. ECM 2587.
Steve Tibbetts - Life Of. ECM 2599.
