British Jazz

British Jazz is a style of jazz music that originated in the United Kingdom in the 1950s and 1960s. It is characterized by a combination of traditional jazz elements with influences from British popular music, such as folk, blues, and rock. British Jazz is often seen as a more accessible and less experimental form of jazz, and it has been popularized by artists such as George Shearing, Tubby Hayes, and Ronnie Scott. British Jazz is often seen as a bridge between traditional jazz and more modern forms of jazz, such as fusion and acid jazz.
