Bebop Spoken There

Emma Rawicz: "In a couple of years I've gone from being a normal university student to suddenly being on international stages." DownBeat January 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)

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

Also a live set featuring Counterpoint, so called as it features an interplay between Helen Pillinger on sax and Carole Williams on keys and vocals. Last but not least a review of the Angry Men CD a rocky jazz fusion band with Mike Smith and Paul Robinson.

A welcome return to the Hillary Step and Hot Biscuits for Caroline Caz Boaden and her Trio with Paul Kilvington on keys and Ed Harrison on Bass. Also featured are tracks from Purple Cheesecake, GoGo Penguin, Jill Torvaney, and Steve Chadwick's special, Run with the Hare. I'm assured from Steve that no animals, or wigs were harmed in the creation of this new piece.
