Bebop Spoken There

Abbie Finn: "Even though there's a lot of great work being done to promote women in jazz, I still come up against some attitudes! I pulled up at a recording session with my drums in the car and the studio owner said, 'I'm sorry, this space is reserved for the drummer!'" - (Jazzwise April 2023).

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.

Ann Braithwaite (Braithwaite & Katz Communications) You’re the BEST!

Holly Cooper, Mouthpiece Music: "Lance writes pull quotes like no one else!"

Meanwhile, Back in Manhattan...

Earlier this year, legendary American pianist/songstress just happened to be in Jesmond where she delighted and surprised the locals by sitting in at the Dun Cow's alternative Wednesday's jam session.
Daryl is unlikely to be there this coming Wednesday but, if you happen to be in New York on Tuesday, August 28, Daryl Sherman's “Too Marvelous For Words" show featuring the music of Johnny Mercer, Cole Porter, Rodgers & Hart/Hammerstein with James Chirillo (guitar) and Boots Maleson (bass) is at the new Birdland Theater, down in the basement of the famous club - get  there for 7:00 or 9:45 PM.
Details: www.birdlandjazz.com/calendar  Birdland Jazz Club 315 W. 44th St. New York, NY 10036 212-581-3080.
If you can't make it - even though airline flights are usually more reliable than the Tyneside Metro - take a chance on the Dun Cow on August 8. Who knows who may sit in - Kate O'Neill, Alice Grace, Elling, Porter?
Lance.

Word has it the house band - no names, that would be telling! - will be worth hearing on its own.
