Bebop Spoken There

Van Morrison: ''Basically, I'm coming from jazz. Not pop, not rock, not what's commercial. That's where I started, and that's still where I am. I feel the same as I did when I was listening to Louis Armstrong, Lead Belly, Jelly Roll Morton''. (The Northern Echo, 12 June 2025).

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

EFG London Jazz Festival: Antonio Sànchez @ The Jazz Café, Camden - Nov. 21

More from Camden cameraman Mochles Sa. This time it's shots of drummer Antonio Sànchez at London's Jazz Café as part of our capital city's EFG Jazz Festival. Mochles tells me the lighting was so ridiculous that he was unable to get any decent shots of the rest of the band.

Being a man who lets his camera do the talking his only observations were that Sànchez made a political speech against President Trump and spoke of the global crisis of migrants in Europe and USA as well as the reaction of politicians to the poverty of these countries.
