ISSUE 49: JAZZ IN BRITAIN
The Magazine
Whether in hotel orchestras or small groups, playing for dancers or for devotees of 'hot music', on radio or on records, Britain's finest musicians of the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s were entranced by the wizardry of American jazz. Many would create a magic all their own.
The Music
Follow the British jazz story from the West End dancebands of Roy Fox and Ambrose to the wartime big-band sounds of The Squadronaires, Billy Cotton, Spike Hughes, George Shearing and 'the British Louis', trumpeter-singer Nat Gonella.
