Bebop Spoken here is a blog that will interest most jazz followers. http://www.lance-
bebopspokenhere.blogspot.com/
Run by Lance Liddle in the North East he describes it below:
Bebop Spoken Here -- Here, being the north-east of England -- centred in the
blues heartland of Newcastle and reaching down to the Tees Delta and looking
upwards to the Land of the Kilt.
Not a very original title, I know; not even an accurate one as my taste, whilst
centred around the music of Bird and Diz, extends in many directions and I
listen to everything from King Oliver to Chick Corea and beyond. Not forgetting
the Great American Songbook the contents of which has provided the inspiration
for much great jazz and quality popular singing for round about a century.
The idea of this blog is for you to share your thoughts and pass on your
comments on discs, gigs, jazz - music in general. If you've been to a
gig/concert or heard a CD that knocked you sideways please share your views with
us. Tell us about your favourites, your memories, your dislikes.
Lance wishes it to be known that he is not responsible for postings other
than his own and that he's not always responsible for them.
