1955
The Jazz Club Incident

British youth embraced American jazz, with underground clubs booming in London.

Jed played the spoons so loudly he was banned from Ronnie Scott’s before it even opened. He said he was ‘helping the rhythm section’. A visiting American called it ‘percussive violence’.

Mmm... did that actually happen?

Tell us about something that did:-)

Say "happy birthday" to Jed:-)
