Captured by Brian Foskett, these photographs transport us to a different era, where traditional jazz reigned supreme. Nick Millward's spirited performance in 2008 showcases how this music has stood the test of time, captivating audiences for decades. The Edinburgh Jazz Festival saw Ian Hunter-Randall and Terry Lightfoot mesmerize crowds with their skillful playing in 1986. Meanwhile, Vic Ash and Harry Klein brought their undeniable talent to Beaulieu Jazz Festival in Hampshire back in 1960. Nat Gonella's soulful trumpet playing echoed through Beaulieu Jazz Festival that same year, leaving an indelible mark on all who witnessed it. Diz Disley and Alex Welsh took center stage at Earls Court Radio Show in London during that memorable year as well. George Melly was a true icon of trad jazz, enchanting listeners wherever he went.
