Bebop Spoken There

Dave Puddy: "Eventually we paid our entrance money [to Eel Pie Island] and fought our way to one of the many bars where we could buy our Newcastle Brown and retire to the back of the heaving dancefloor. There must have been lights somewhere, but my memory remains of being in some dark cavernous wonderland." - (Just Jazz July 2020)

Dave Rempis: “Ten years from now, I can see musicians streaming concerts in real time and charging a minimal amount for people to watch.” - (DownBeat September 2013)

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".

Postage

11,618 (and counting) posts since we started blogging just over 12 years ago. 753 of them this year alone and, so far, 17 this month (July 5).

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.

Incredible that this man has financial woes.
He was indispensable in the Second Great Quintet - the unfortunate joke he was George Coleman's Hip Replacement - increasingly becoming recognised as the greatest jazz group ever assembled; he was co-conspirator in Weather Report, all but universally recognised (alongside Mahavishnu) as the most important Fusion Band of the lot; alongside his highly credible solo work and his contributions as sideman on many seminal albums.
What a crazy upside down world we live in when you consider some of the ludicrous white pop-stars who are multi-millionaires.
