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.

Submissions for review
Whilst we appreciate the many emails, texts, messages and other communications we receive requesting album/gig reviews on BSH, regrettably, we are unable to reply to all of them other than those we are able to answer with a positive response.
Similarly, CDs received by post will only be considered if accompanied by sufficient background material.
Finally, bear in mind that this is a jazz-based site when submitting your album.

A late Sunday afternoon jam session on Newcastle Quayside...it could/should be a winner. At one time Flynn's was a very successful public house just around the corner from Live Theatre. Its waterfront location proved popular with a weekend crowd out to drink for England. Nothing lasts forever and the place closed. The building stood empty for years...until now.

Charts is a great venue and the cats who blow at the other jams around town will enjoy blowing or singing with these guys backing them. However, for those who don't feel that they are quite ready to jump in at the deep end, the AM JAM, just upriver at The Globe, offers the jazz aspirant the opportunity to test the water and develop their chops before mixing it with the big hitters. Lead sheets are provided and the AM JAM is the ideal confidence builder for the enthusiastic newcomer to jazz.
Later, the Jazz Coop have, on this particular Sunday, in the evening, an exciting session in store with NORTH4JAZZ. This is the latest of sax maestro Dave Keighley's combos and it promises to be a cracker!
