Bebop Spoken There

Ron Carter quoting Sonny Rollins: ''What we call jazz - that's keeping the world in equilibrium. I don't care what kind of music you like out here today. It all comes from jazz.'' (DownBeat August, 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

Jazz at the Moor Top, Heaton Moor, Stockport: Ed Kainyek Quartet & Paul Hartley Quartet - August 26

© Jeff Pritchard
Ed Kainyek (tenor/soprano sax); Liam Butler-Webb (keys); James Adolpho (bass); Tim Franks (drums).

This was an open air event to publicise the Moor Top Sunday night jazz nights which will hopefully prove to be as successful as the Railway. There was no admission charge, no raffle, and although the weather was overcast the turnout was quite impressive and when Ed decided to play Summertime the sun decided not to make an appearance but at least the rain stayed away. Ed’s quartet played for the first 2 hours with a short break in the middle and then guitarist Paul Hartley took over with an interesting line-up as follows:

Paul Hartley (guitar); Carol Williams (trombone, keys, vocals); Pete Hartley (bass guitar) Pete  Seminsky (drums).         

As far as I know the finishing time was 6:00pm but I left to get the 6:00pm train so I may have missed a couple of tunes.

Ed Kainyek Quartet set list:  My Foolish Heart; Take 5; Hey Jude; Isn’t She Lovely?; Days of Wine and Roses; Let There be Love; My Funny Valentine; Like Someone In Love; Summertime; Make me a Memory; Oleo; Where is the Love?

Paul Hartley Quartet set list:  Rockin’; Oz; Mambo Inn; You Don’t Know What Love Is; Alfie’s Theme; This Masquerade; Travels ('til 5-45pm).       

Readers who live in the Manchester area may like to know that the rhythm section that Ed used is appearing this Wednesday at Matt and Phreds (8:00pm) when Liam Butler-Webb presents his Oscar Peterson tribute. Mike Farmer
