Bebop Spoken There

Gary Bartz: ''Music is nature's gift to man. It's the only religion. We're living in a terrible era, but what a beautiful thing music is. Look how it brings us together like religion is supposed to; and with no language barriers.'' (Jazzwise September, 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)

Postage

18918 (and counting) posts since we started blogging 18 years ago. 782 of them this year alone and, so far this month (Sept. 18.) 61.

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

In less than 20 minutes time @ The Globe ...

(Press release)

Formed in 2018 and led by internationally acclaimed Portuguese singer and guitarist, Sergio Prazeres, Bossa Trio has captivated audiences with its infectious, rhythmic Brazilian music – songs beautifully sung by Sergio in his native Portuguese, which capture the very pulse of Rio, the Copacabana and the inner-city Favelas with a host of traditional Brazilian musical forms – Forro, Capoeira, Samba, Partido Alto and of course, Bossa Nova, lying at the very heart of this wonderful band’s musicality.

Rhythmically tight and coupled with a wonderfully strong sense of engagement, you’ll immediately feel the warmth and charm of Bossa Trio – Sergio Prazeres (acoustic guitar and voice) Nick Gould (tenor sax) and Kevin Dorrian (drums and percussion)

[This will be our 100th livestream. Read more about this landmark achievement here.
