There are other musicians who made only a few or even only one record and their records have been collected on a single web page...Others... The discographies for Kenny Baker, George Chisholm, Ian Carr, Johnny Keating and Ted Heath include selected 'modern jazz' records only... The discographies for Victor Feldman, Dizzy Reece, Joe Temperley, George Shearing and Eddie Thompson include only the records they made in the UK... | ||||

The main purpose of these discography pages is to indicate what music is currently available in the UK on CD. They do not contain all the original 78 rpm disk issue numbers but LP or EP numbers are included when known. I can supply many 78rpm numbers if anybody is interested. Availability of CDs is a constantly changing picture and what is currently available can easily be withdrawn by the publishing companies. CD details listed in the discographies in red are believed to be currently available. Those in green are not but may be available second hand...
For the musicians who are not listed above a link to their discographical details may be available from the musicians link above. If they do not have a separate discography I have indicated on the musicians pages an indication of those discography pages that will lead to details of their recorded work. All discography pages cover the period from c1940 to the 1960s, but those for Ronnie Scott, Joe Harriott, Tommy Whittle, Stan Tracey and Tubby Hayes and others have been extended beyond this date. Pages are being expanded and updated all the time...
Besides individual musicians there are now discographies for leading groups or bands. Most of the bands are listed above but others are available from this link...
The time line links leads to some discographical detail of the earliest bands to record what can be seen as the start of British modern jazz. It is restricted to what is available on CD...A number of the musicians featured here recorded many programmes for the BBC, and very few titles, in fact only a tiny number, have ever been made available commercially. Tubby Hayes is the only musician with a CD available made up from BBC broadcast material which was issued by the IAJRC (International Association of Jazz Record Collectors). This CD is titled - "Tubby Hayes: England's Late Jazz Great". The BBC apparently holds a huge number of sound recordings covering Britain's premier jazz musicians that have never been issued in record format and they have not been included in these discographies unless they have been issued on record or CD. | ||||
