Notes

Pharoah Sanders died in September. Of those who played on John Coltrane’s infamous ‘Ascension’ album only Archie Shepp remains. Indeed, he now seems to be the sole major figure remaining from that generation.
The Jazz Centre UK occupies the basement of the Beecroft Art Gallery in Southend but has been given notice to quit sometime next year. At present it holds an interesting collection of British and international jazz memorabilia. It also hosts weekly jazz performances. Those who have enjoyed ‘Portrait Artist’ of the Year on Sky Arts will recognise an impressive painting of Cleo Laine. The Beecroft Art Gallery has much to offer in its own right.
