Bebop Spoken There

Trevor Mires: ''My mum is a Dean Martin fan: I'm not, so I would grab my skateboard and get out of the house whenever I heard "Everybody Loves Somebody, Sometime." ". (Jazzwise, April 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)

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

Two of a Mind: The Music of Desmond and Mulligan - Tonight @ the Globe

A special performance by 2 of the region’s leading horn players, who will pay homage to the classic 1962 album “Two of a Mind”. This featured a pianoless quartet of Gerry Mulligan and Paul Desmond, freeing the 2 saxes to show their subtlety of tone and interaction.

Multi-instrumentalists Sue Ferris and Steve Summers look forward to taking on this harmonic challenge on alto and baritone sax in the first set, followed by a second set featuring their own choices of instrument.

Sue Ferris (baritone sax); Steve Summers (alto sax); Neil Harland (bass); Rob Walker (drums)

AT THE GLOBE: Unreserved seating.  Names of ticket holders will be on the door.  We do not send out physical tickets.
