sorry, but my knowledge on British Jazz is limited, so I hope to learn something. I know how you feel about fusion always being brought up |

Well the UK jazz scene seemed to come alive with the Rendell-Carr Quintet around the mid-60's... I'm not really aware of some high profile jazz artiste before that
Not surprisingly, that band is still missing in the database..
Of course via Nucleus (Carr again) and the Canerbury scene, the JR/F scene will explode, outting the UK on the map...

Miller/Coxhil The Story so far oh Really
and Miller and Coxhill Miller being Steve Miller Coxill being Lol Coxhill two brilliant albums by two of the best from English Jazz And then of Course there is the one and only Courtney Pine. two albums by him worth seeking out would be Journey to the Urge Within and Modern day Jazz Stories .

Yes, I know. But if I had mentioned McLaughlin initially, everyone would have thought that I'd been wanting British fusion. Since they already mentioned stuff like Brand X, Hatfield & the North. They're fantastic bands for me, but that's not really what I'm looking for.

Hatfield and the north is a band of Canterbury scene. As you know the bands of this scene had jazz elements. They are here under classic fusion.

Off the top of my head, Dave Holland is one of my favorite British jazz musicians, and it's inevitable Brand X will be mentioned; I love them, and they have a unique atmosphere (especially in their first 3 albums) no other fusion act Ive heard has ever come close to achieving.

Unlike with rock music, jazz's main artists come from U.S.
Here we can talk and recommend some fine British Jazz albums, list your faves, whatever. (please do not delve in jazz fusion, unless it's the more raw fusion type in the likes of early Soft Machine or Nucleus) I'm interested if there's anything "classic" from the U.K. belonging to the jazz genre. (classic meaning innovating or original or must-have, etc.. )
