Bebop Spoken There

Belá Fleck: "...he [Chick Corea] brought out the best in musicians. Not only would you get to play with him, but you'd get to play with the best version of yourself." - (DownBeat April 2021).

RIP Christian Brewer

Sadly, in the course of my many trips to London over the years, I never got to hear saxist Christian Brewer who, it is reported, died in the early hours of this morning. 

However, such are the accolades that have poured in by those I have heard play and respect such as Alex Garnett, the musicians Christian played with such as Leon Greening and the venues where he was frequently booked such as Ronnie's and all the other London/south coast hot spots, paint such a vivid picture that I can almost hear him without hearing him if that makes sense.

The news was broken by LJN earlier today.

More information as and when.
May he Rest In Peace.
