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)

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

Caro Emerald to live stream this Saturday

(Press release)

This Saturday, January 30, 2021 at 8:00pm CET*, Caro Emerald will perform a livestream concert, available for free via her YouTube and official website.

Caro will be playing an acoustic set with bass player Jeroen Vierdag, guitarist Wieger Hoogendorp, percussionist Gino Groeneveld (Altin Gün, Jungle by Night), and Pyke Pasman (Jungle by Night).

 

Speaking about the upcoming performance, Caro says, “We’ve missed playing live so much that we thought it was about time to get together and play some music. It doesn’t replace a real live show, but it sure is interesting that people from all over the world can watch at the same time. It’s a different dynamic and we’re super excited!”

 

The Electric Monkey Studio in Amsterdam, a well-known spot for Caro and her producers Jan van Wieringen and David Schreurs, will host the concert. Sadly, it will be one of the last times that Caro will play there, as the studio will be shutting down in April.

STREAM FOR FREE: YouTube // Website

* 7:00pm GMT.
