Walking In Circles

About me

Location	London, Hackney
Introduction	CHASER PUBLICATIONS joins with self publishing house AUTHORHOUSE to make available Mark 'Snowboy' Cotgrove's definitive history of the UK Jazz Dance Scene.In the spirit of STRAIGHT NO CHASER magazine - which ceased publication back in late 2007 - this an independent venture that is fuelled by the "Freedom Principle", inspired by the nation's jazz dance activists and the music that underpinned the scene. 'From Jazz Funk & Fusion to Acid Jazz' is a serious piece of work and as Professor Robert Farris Thompson says, "the cultural significance of this text is immense". It is a classic and while it will be snapped up by those who were there it also deserves a place on college and university reading lists. This book penetrates contemporary British culture to reveal the dynamics that have gone a long way to shaping out lives today.
