Focusing on pivotal moments in British jazz history, this book examines the interplay of race, nation, and class. It delves into jazz's reception in early 20th-century Britain, the 1950s New Orleans jazz revival, the Joe Harriott Quintet's free jazz innovations in the 1960s, and the establishment of the all-black Jazz Warriors in 1985. Through historical and ethnographical lenses, Hilary Moore analyzes how this African American music genre has been integrated and transformed within Britain's diverse social and political contexts.
