Jazz first emerged in London in the 1920s after the First Wo, originally a restaurant called

Max. British jazz drummer Victor Feldman originally a restaurant called Max and. British jazz
giant v Feldman's father hired the venuerld War. This period was a dramatic cultural change
the society on the whole. The end of the bleak year sparked a new life into people determined
to live lift the mood on what has become a dreary and depressing time. Theatre and its
theatrical costumes paved the way a more relaxed dressing and lead to major changes in
construction of close. The rigidity of the Victorian clothing was gone laying the foundation for
the more relaxed 1920s and its buzz for dance halls and music. Around this time Ragtime
develops into jazz and young people flocked to dance halls and jazz clubs where people
danced the shimmy, the Charleston and the Black bottom. The roots of jazz music had
originated in the US, firstly in New Orleans in honky-tonk clubs and the famous Cotton Club
Chicago. These bands are essentially made up of four black musicians playing the style of
blues and faster as the originating from their own roots that. Black musicians were not
allowed to play in her proper establishments like their white counterparts, and this style of
music was stopped the devil's music. And the This was brought to the London scene by
musicians such as Duke Ellington who performed there are 1933 Al Jolson Billie holiday and
clubs such as the Hutchinson and category. The start of World War II meant closure and
destruction of most clubs and dance halls bring a halt to the music scene in London and
across the land. In the late 1950s the world of jazz music found its place back in London
influenced by the presence of American servicemen stationed in England with a big number
of black soldiers with that need to socialise and dance and listen to music. One of the many
growing clubs at the time and that the central harbour of what was happening was a club now
known as the Hundred club, at 100 Oxford Street. This club has been the pedestal of the live
music since 1942. Originally a restaurant called Max. British jazz drummer Victor Feldman's
father hired the venue on a regular Sunday night to showcase the talents of his jazz loving
sons and their bands joined by the legendary British jazzman Jimmy Skidmore were open
nights on the opening night am on 24 October 1942. Where did this new jazz venue spread
and was visited by a number of American servicemen and some of whom were well-known
jazz musicians in their own right. One particular legend Glenn Miller, performing here at that
night with others such as Ray McKinley, Mel Powell, and peanuts to. As it was during the war
while bombs still fell around the country, this basement club provided a safe underground
area where people could come together and momentarily forget the atrocities and come
together in music. The Feldman's advertising at the club at the time was forget the doodlebug
come just about at the Feldman club. This became the club's first period of success
introducing performers such as Jack are now and George Webb. This in 1948 after the war,
the club was renamed the London Jazz club, and reintroduced the dance music of the era,
jitterbug and swing. In the 1950s the club changed hands and the second time to Lynn Dutton
who was the agent of Humphrey Lyttelton who was a hugely popular and famous jazz trumpet
player from University. They name the club after him. The Humphrey Lyttelton club achieved
a major gig when in 1956 leading dairy New Orleans band leader and trumpeter Louis
Armstrong made an appearance with his band during a few days rake on the British tour he
was doing with Humphrey Lyttelton. Other major artists who visited at that time were Billie
holiday etc etc. In 1958 they had a top 20 hit with bad Penny blues which became one of the
records to kickstart the Triad jazz erea. Tried was to be come huge in Britain from 1959 to the
early 1960s with the club at its epicentre. In 1957 when my mother was 17 she was living and
going to school just outside central London in Isa worth, I'm when the main centre of
socialising with friends and meeting new runs, was in coffee bars in Richmond, as pubs were
not interesting. the atmosphere was more of philosophical discussions, watching French films
and analytical directors like Ingmar Bergman, and reading philosophers like Cahlil Gibran,
and realistic lifestyle writters like John Steinbeck and was therefore a middle-class grammer
school culture. with film clubs watching French films and French films and and will so not

parties and music venues. In and around the outer London area. The where he had enquiring
and adventurous minds extending the controlled and difficult life that our parents had gone
through in and after the Second World War. Word-of-mouth was the main way of finding out
about parties and and music venues in and around the outer London area. One-off event a
one-off event of additional jazz was organised one weekend at the eel pie Island and the so
successful and enjoyable event became a regular event and we invented our own way of
dressing and dancing, it was here that I met my future husband. Jazz bands from the clubs in
London began playing their example and Littleton George Melly and Chris Barber, there a are
that many groups as diverse as would then go to the clubs in central London like the marquee
and the Hundred club where you could hear many more local and international trad and Jazz
bands. During the mid-Fifties London had seen the emergence of several music clubs
devoted to jazz and blues sounds that were taking over the city, such as the marquee club in
up to street 100 club bingo club and Ronnie Scott's in Gerard Street. This reflected what was
happening in smaller intimate clubs owned by no mean musicians like Ronnie Scott and
Humphrey Lyttelton. The marquee was located in the basement of the Academy Cinema
where the founding member of the current temporary films distribution companies dedicated it
to political and arthouse films. Which was also part of that social and intellectual scene. In
1963 and unknown band called the Rolling Stones started as a support band at the marquee
for different rhythm and blues band. The stones then and now underlines the progress of the
jazz scene and to this day continue to do so the Bahamian fashion of the stones was a further
influential development of this genre of people. These were an integral part of social influence
in England with London at its core. The jazz scene was and what came with it clearly had a
very important cultural effect on its environment and impacting on other music styles,
musicians ideas, fashion and literature. The beginning of the 70s were now some of the most
toughest times in the clubs history. The work to rule policy of the unions representing
unhappy workers at all persuasions during this time and following this, the three day week (so
closure to the club) meant their world is no money for people to spend and electricity were
switched off from six till 9 PM by local boards. This wars instigated by the actions of the then
Prime Minister Edward Heath and subsequently Margaret Thatcher. This is relieved by private
radio broadcasts and the availability of EP records in high street shops. To import commands
