Strange Brew
Terence Stamp
narrates a series on the assimilation and
development of jazz in Britain over the past
60 years. This edition recalls how British
jazz found its independent voice during the
60s and 70s, freeing
itself from dependence
on the US and competing with rock 'n' roll
on its own terms.
Contributors include Jack Bruce, Mike
Westbrook, Peter King, Mike Garrick, John
Surman and John McLaughlin.
