Abstract

The article discusses various letters from readers responding to features in a jazz magazine, primarily focusing on the legacy of jazz musician Sir George Shearing and the contributions of local jazz figures. One letter highlights the importance of Shearing's autobiography, "Lullaby of Birdland," and several boxed sets that showcase his music. Other letters correct inaccuracies regarding Shearing's work, praise BBC Radio 3's tribute to drummer Max Roach, and pay tribute to local jazz promoter John Emmett, known as John E Jazz, who significantly contributed to the jazz scene in Medway for over 50 years. The correspondence reflects a deep appreciation for jazz history and its influential figures. [Extracted from the article]
