Three British Labels are Deep in Dialogue with the American Jazz Tradition

Martin Hummel explains, ““I think we all tend to have a much more open and broader perspective on life and the world than we had previously. So, as a result, I don’t think it’s the U.S. [alone] that takes the lead. I think it’s the U.S. that’s leading with other very interesting developed communities of music in other countries.”

British Jazz Comes of Age

Jocks&Nerds Magazine’s Chris May writes, “AFTER DECADES in the shadow of its American parent, British jazz is finally coming of age. A network of young, London-based musicians is forging a rebooted style which reflects the Caribbean and African cultural heritages of the majority of its vanguard players and also addresses the race, class and gender inequalities which infect modern British society.”
