The Things They Say!

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

Postage

11,635 (and counting) posts since we started blogging just over 12 years ago. 770 of them this year alone and, so far, 34 this month (July 9).

Today

As we all know there are no live gigs taking place in the immediate future. However, any links to jazz streaming that are deemed suitable - i.e. with a professional approach - will be considered for posting.

RIP Michel Legrand

French composer and jazz pianist Michel Legrand died in Paris earlier today aged 86. A multi-Oscar winner for his film soundtracks and theme songs he was also an expert pianist frequently performing in this country and in America. His music was adapted by many jazz artists including Stan Getz and Miles Davis.
Sadly, I never heard him live.
Repose En Paix.
