Terence Stamp narrates a series on the assimilation and development of jazz in Britain over the past 60 years. This edition recalls how British jazz found its independent voice during the 60s and 70s, freeing itself from dependence on the US and competing with rock 'n' roll on its own terms. Contributors include Jack Bruce, Mike Westbrook, Peter King, Mike Garrick, John Surman and John McLaughlin.
