Inside British Jazz

Meer over het boek

Focusing on pivotal moments in British jazz history, this book delves into the intersections of race, nation, and class. It covers the early reception of jazz in the UK, the 1950s revival, the innovative contributions of the Joe Harriott Quintet, and the establishment of the all-black Jazz Warriors. Through historical and ethnographic lenses, Hilary Moore investigates how this African American musical genre has been integrated and transformed within Britain's diverse social and political contexts.
