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

Peter Ind - Frank Griffith features the iconic bassist on The Jazz Cavern

This week belongs to Lennie Tristano, possibly the most underrated jazz pianist of all time. I'm currently enjoying Mosaic/Dot Time Records' boxed six-CD set of previously unreleased privately recorded items, The first of which was reviewed yesterday and the second later today.

Tomorrow night Frank Griffith, tenor player/broadcaster, features Peter Ind - one of the most important members of Lennie's musical intimates - on his weekly radio show The Jazz Cavern of which the details are below.

"My weekly radio  show, The  Jazz Cavern on 6 January at 9:00pm will feature the music of the later Peter Ind (1928-2021)*. Peter was a British bassist, who was resident in the USA from 1951-1965 and played with Lennie Tristano, Roy Eldridge,  Lee Konitz, Warne Marsh, Buddy Rich and Kenny Barron to name a few. The show will include recordings of Peter with Tristano and others.

Peter formed his record label, Wave Records, in 1963 in NYC which still exists today. www.waverecordsmusic.com." Lance
