Bebop Spoken There

Steve Coleman: ''If you don't keep learning, your mind slows down. Use it or lose it''. (DownBeat, January 2025).

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

Preview: Jamie Cullum @ Sage Gateshead - Saturday (Oct. 2)

One of the first casualties of the pandemic was the cancellation of Sage Gateshead's jazz programme scheduled to run from March last year.

Popular singer, songwriter, broadcaster and jazz pianist Jamie Cullum who had been scheduled to appear on April 29 of that year will, at long last, perform at the venue this Saturday (Oct. 2 - 7:30pm). Cullum always puts on a good show which is why the tickets are going rapidly and  a sell-out looks a near certainty so, if you have been procrastinating, now's the time to book as tomorrow may be too late. Lance.

PS: if you bought tickets for the original concert they are still valid.
