I have been collecting and DJ'ing in the UK for over 40 years and have been waiting a long time for a definitive book
about the culture and development of Jazz Dance in the UK in the 70's and 80's the music,atmosphere,friendship and unique dancing.
THIS IS IT !!

An amazing piece of work, written with great skill, dedication honesty enthusiasm (and in my case) great generosity.
The only definitive history of a unique music scene that lead to the jazz life we lived, and for the reader opens the door to a world of spectacular music that will stay with you for the rest of your own life.

Snowboy’s book documents that influence from its roots in the UK with the DJ’s, the Music, the Clubs and the Jazz Dancers with incredible detail.
This book really is the final word on the History of UK Jazz Dance and is a "must read" musical experience.
Real Jazz Dance, superbly detailed and written for those who want to Jazz Dance. ENJOY !!
