We've been here before and it cuts both ways.
A domestic musicians' union ban, with the agreement of the Ministry of Labour, was initiated in the mid-thirties on visiting American jazz musicians, following successful visits from Louis Armstrong, Cab Calloway and Duke Ellington. Appearances from across the Atlantic virtually ceased for 20 years.
In Britain, jazz developed in quite unique ways and the following period saw the emergence of a consciously black and proud British jazz."There was a hole that needed to be filled and black British jazz evolved to fill that void," says Dr Catherine Tackley, Open University.
Perhaps it will lead to the development of a British 'sound' again?
