Get Down to Brass: Nottingham's Jazz Scene

After a period of being frowned upon by many, it became the soundtrack for twenties America, otherwise known as the Jazz Age. These days, the West African rhythms, blues, ragtime and European military band infusions have danced their way across the globe, and into the corners of cities like ours. But what of Nottingham jazz? Where did it all start, and what’s going on in the scene today?
