Its Jazz, Nice






Another British jazz legend bites the dust: Mike Osborne (R.I.P) and another Mike (Gibbs) turns 70.



It is tragic that the golden age of British jazz is so sadly neglected, largely undocumented. It is small wonder, that Stan Tracy & the rest legged it to Europe.

To be fair, it must be said, who was listening in that era of the fab 4, the beat boom & then the blues boom & then psychedelia. The smart jazzer, without the habits, stuck to their jazz cigarettes & sneaked into the shadows of the blues boom or onto the superb jazz rock scene.
