106 jazz
concerts have been restricted to the highly successful promotions at the Royal Festival Hall in London. But for 1957, the Federation extended its scope to cover the promotion of first-rate jazz concerts all over Britain. For 1957, between 150 and 200 concerts were planned—for the first series of which the Federation brought over Big Bill Broonzy.
The Federation not only helps local jazz clubs to form, but it encourages and assists local talent. Several new bands have secured recording contracts for the first time through the help of the National Jazz Federation.
To sum up: you'll get out of the Federation a lot more than you paid in—but even if you got less, it would still be a most worthy organisation to support, if you believe in jazz. |
