American Blue Note 10" LP from 1954 with British jazz including Johnny Dankworth, Don Rendell a.o.

ENGLAND

Esquire and Tempo,
classic labels in
British Jazz

Esquire Records and Tempo are two classic and important labels in modern British jazz, and most in demand among collectors. Esquire was the first label to record modern jazz in England and Tempo Records took over in the mid 1950s.

Otherwise, Club Eleven was the first place to bring modern jazz and bebop to the attention in London after the war. It became the focal point for the new jazz and the inspiration to many young musicians throughout the country.

   
    Club Eleven c.1948 with Ronnie Scott,
    Johnny Dankworth, Tommy Pollard,
    Len Bush, Denis Rose, Tony Crombie

The club opened in 1948. Among the musicians involved were Ronnie Scott, Johnny Dankworth, Dennis Rose, Tony Crombie, Don Rendell, Laurie Morgan, Tommy Pollard and Tony Kinsey.

   
    Johnny Dankworth

A movement in an opposite direction was the traditional revival, which began to flourish in the 1940s and eventually led to the trad jazz boom in the 1950s. This music was represented by musicans like Ken Colyer, Humphrey Lyttelton and Chris Barber.

    Chris Barber in 1953

ESQUIRE RECORDS was founded in 1947 by Carlo Krahmer and Peter Newbrook. Many of the best British jazz musicians were recorded early in their careers, besides the already named also Victor Feldman, Jimmy Deuchar and Tommy Whittle among others.

   

Esquire also undertook leasing deals with American record companies. They issued the Charlie Parker Dials and later almost the entire Prestige catalogue. The company introduced Swedish jazz in Britain by names such as Lars Gullin, Bengt Hallberg and Arne Domnerus.

Esquire´s catalogue of Britsh jazz contained a large number of 78s. The first 10" LPs of British modern jazz were issued in 1952. Into 1956 the numbers of modern British jazz LPs were about 25, most of them in the 10" format. In the same time around 40 EPs were issued.

   

TEMPO RECORDS did in the second half of the 1950s, what Esquire had done in the early part of the decade. The label was founded in 1946s and recorded in the first years traditional jazz. The recordings of modern British jazz started in 1955, when British Decca was the company´s new owner. Recordings of traditional continued as well.

Decca kept the Tempo label active into 1960. Until then around 40 LPs were issued (of which about 10 in the 10" format), and the number of 45 rpm EPs was about 100.


New sounds in the 1960s

The main influence on British jazz in the 1950s was the Americans. But in the early 1960s some musicians were developing new sounds, among them Joe Harriott, Don Rendall and Stan Tracey. An original British sound was being developed, taking elements from bop but branching out to use different musical ideas.

An important source in the 1960s and 1970s was the the music of South Africa, negotiated by musicians such as Chris McGregor, Mongezi Feza, Dudo Pukwana, Johnny Dyani, Harry Miller and others.

There was also a growth in free jazz inspired by European models, as well as currents from British rhtym & blues. These influences helped British contemporary jazz to develope a distinctive identy, distanced from American styles.




         

The British DECCA was an important label in British jazz during the years, not least via the subsidiary label Tempo. Many albums were also issued on the Decca label itself.

When Decca had dropped Tempo in the early 1960s, they formed a new subsidiary in mid 60s called DERAM. It was intended for alternative and progressive artists, and gave some space for new voices in jazz.

         

Composers and musicians such as Mike Westbrook, Graham Collier, Michael Garrick, Mike Gibbs and Alan Skidmore made major contributions for the Deram label in the late 1960s. But Decca also placed pop artists on Deram, so it failed to get a real profile. In 1969, Decca formed a true progressive label called Nova, which lasted less than a year.





      

It came to be other players who took care of the new jazz in Britian in the 1970s. In the end of the 1960s Evan Parker and Derek Baily formed a group called Music Improvisation Company. They made a record for the German label ECM. The group breaked up, but it led to that Parker and Bailey, together with Tony Oxley, started their own record company, INCUS.

Incus was the first musician-owned independent label in the UK. Incus released about 50 LPs into mid 1980s. From that point the label was run by Derek Bailey alone, until his death in 2005.





      

Another important label for avant garde jazz in Britain was OGUN. It was formed in 1974 by South African-born bassist Harry Miller and his wife Hazel Miller.

Ogun recorded the Brotherhood of Breath (collectively and under individual muisician´s names), Mike Osborne, John Surman, Elton Dean, Keith Tippett, John Stevens, Trevor Watts, Harry Beckett and others. Around 40 LPs were issued until mid 1980s. Harry Miller died in a car accident in 1983.
