Keeping the Blues Alive

In a post war Britain the most popular style of music was dance bands, "big band" style. This developed into the "revivalist' jazz movement. They drew inspiration from the 20's jazz players like Jelly Roll Morten and singers like Bessie Smith. They paved the way for Black Blues musicians to tour Britain.
