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
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.
