What Time Are We On? - An Oral History of The London Jazz Scene from The Early 1940's to 1965, Told By The Musicians Who Were There

Lots of interesting anecdotes and first-hand insights into the evolution of jazz in UK, but would really benefit from the attentions of a goos editor. Nevertheless, if you're prepared to be patient, a worthwhile read.

Interesting topic and worthwhile interviewees such as Don Rendell etc, but subject knowledge shaky and frequent typos e.g. Sheik Heane.

I'm sure there's an important story to tell and thanks are due to Matt Haskins for his efforts. I so wanted to enjoy it, but it's such hard work to read. The text rambles on and there so many typos. It would seem that an editor has been nowhere near it. Such a shame, a missed opportunity.

An interesting account highlighting the evolution and divisions of trad and modern jazz, the ludicrous UK/US musicians ban, and impact of the blues invasion. I found the interviews and recollections to be somewhat rambling throughout, but my main issue is the number of typos and poor editing, that make this worthwhile book rather hard work.
