Bebop Spoken There

Ludovic Beier (Django Festival Allstars): ''Manouche means 'free man,' and gypsies have been travelers since they migrated west from India to Europe.'' (DownBeat March, 2026)

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)

18383 (and counting) posts since we started blogging 18 years ago. 247 of them this year alone and, so far this month (Mar. 17 ), 57

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

Jambone, full house, Eales impressed


County Durham correspondent Tony Eales reports that there was a full house at the Lubetkin Theatre for the visit of Jambone. On Thursday evening (June 28) Sage Gateshead's youth jazz ensemble made the short trip down the A19 to perform at East Durham College in Peterlee. TE couldn't recall the band sounding better - high praise indeed!

Earlier in the evening Mollie McKeown sang with guitar accompaniment and southpaw guitarist Nathan Lawson not only impressed with his classic Joe Pass-like playing but, according to TE, the youthful Mr Lawson entertained his audience with a few witty observations along the way.
