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

And if you want a more international spectrum then check out Radio Jazz in the left hand column. In particular, the hour long Late Night Chicago Radio it is essential listening for those of us who like modern jazz as it once was along with classy vocals by Frank, Ella, Tony etc.
Programme updates every Thursday.

Thanks to Lance and Russell and even to myself as I seem to have caused the production of a comprehensive list of radio jazz programmes. There's no excuse for BSH readers to miss any radio jazz!
