Some Reporters Have Priority Issues - Grammy Awards

You'd think they'd write more than 21 positive words about Esperanza Spalding. The loser makes up the headlining paragraph; the Guardian article features a shot of the loser in the clip; she even shares the limelight with the annoying little chap in the link! Where's her platform?! A case of the serious musician versus the music industry's favourite puppet.
Spleen vented. Well done to jazz!

  1. The Beiber - or is it Bieber faction is twittering frantically on the injustice of it all - I think the great "man" himself has spit his dummy out of the pram!

About this blog - contact details.
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.
