Bebop Spoken There

David Bailey (photographer): ''When I was 16 I wanted to look like Chet Baker. He was my idol - him and James Dean.'' (Talking Pictures documentary : Four beats to the bar and no cheating April, 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)

18469 (and counting) posts since we started blogging 18 years ago. 333 of them this year alone and, so far this month (April 27 ) 67

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

New Website Showcases Jazz from North East England and Beyond

(Press release) jazzonthetyne.org, the new Jazz on the Tyne website gives audiences everywhere the chance to listen to and interact with the radio show dedicated to jazz in North East England.

Since 2019, Colin Muirhead has presented Jazz on the Tyne on Hive Radio.  A new, dedicated website provides a simple way of accessing all episodes of the programme, and getting in touch with the show.

Colin Muirhead says, “With the new website, it’s even easier now to listen to top jazz from North East England and beyond!  Plus, you can catch up with interviews with outstanding musicians.”  Amongst the many guests featured to date on Jazz on the Tyne are Zoe Gilby (Jazz Vocalist of the Year at the 2019 Parliamentary Jazz Awards), band Archipelago (nominee for UK Jazz Act of the Year at the 2021 JazzFM Awards), and Mercury Prize-nominated pianist Fergus McCreadie.

About Jazz on the Tyne

Originally broadcast by Community Arts Project North East, Jazz on the Tyne has been available as a free podcast on Mixcloud for the past two years.  Presenter Colin Muirhead brings out a new show every few weeks, featuring jazz of all types from North East England and beyond.  He also interviews musicians and previews events on the local jazz scene.  You can listen to the programmes at any time, either from Mixcloud or by heading to jazzonthetyne.org where you can select individual episodes.

Visit the website: jazzonthetyne.org
