JAZZ PUBLICATIONS/UK: Jazz in Britain: interviews with modern and contemporary jazz musicians, composers and improvisers-George McKay



Abstract

 I undertook these interviews in 2002-2003 as part of the research project I was working on, Circular Breathing: The Cultural Politics of Jazz in Britain. The primary outcome of the project was a book of the same title (published by Duke University Press in 2005). This was an extension into more recent music practice of the interviews I’d undertaken regarding the trad boom of the 1950s. Both sets of interviews were for research funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Board, and I am extremely grateful for the board’s support.

 Interviews (in order of appearance): • Trevor Watts • Eddie Prévost • Mike Westbrook • Keith Tippett • Maggie Nicols • Steve Beresford • Kate Westbrook • Tony Haynes • Gary Crosby • Ben Crow • Deirdre Cartwright.
