Inside British Jazz explores specific historical moments in British
jazz history and places special emphasis upon issues of race,
nation and class. Topics covered include the reception of jazz in
Britain in the 1910s and 1920s, the British New Orleans jazz
revival of the 1950s, the free jazz innovations of the Joe Harriott
Quintet in the early 1960s, and the formation of the all-black jazz
band, the Jazz Warriors, in 1985. Using both historical and
ethnographical approaches, Hilary Moore examines the ways in which
jazz, an African-American music form, has been absorbed and
translated within Britain's social, political and musical
landscapes. Moore considers particularly the ways in which music
has created a space of expression for British musicians, allowing
them to re-imagine their place within Britain's social fabric, to
participate in transcontinental communities, and to negotiate a
position of belonging within jazz narratives of race, nation and
class. The book also champions the importance of studying jazz
beyond the borders of the United States and contributes to a
growing body of literature that will enrich mainstream jazz
scholarship.
