Photographic Memories of Jazz in Swansea

Description

It took Derek Gabriel five years to create this photographic homage to his time following the Jazz scene in Swansea, and using his own extensive collection of photographs, posters, news articles, and tickets, has illustrated this vibrant part of Swansea history and culture. Derek always took his camera with him, and the result is this extensive catalogue of jazz acts around the city.

From the local music clubs and the Swansea Jazz Society, to the visits of Jazz greats like Ronnie Scott, Jamie Cullum, and Nat Adderley, and to the modern day local jazz artists, the book shows you a fascinating pictorial history of jazz in Swansea.
