Various Artists: London Is The Place For Me 2

Read "London Is The Place For Me 2" reviewed by Chris May


Vibrant and beautiful almost beyond words, the fifty year old recordings being collected on Honest Jons' London Is The Place For Me series are giant and precious treasures of early black British music. Exquisite artistic achievements in their own right, they also throw light on the early development of post bop jazz in the UK.
