Bebop Spoken There

Kelly Sill: "Just because everyone is playing through the changes in the same time doesn't mean they're actually playing together" - (JazzTimes March/April 2023).

Hudson Music: Lance's "Bebop Spoken Here" is one of the heaviest and most influential jazz blogs in the UK.

Jazz Beat info required

I (Colin Harper) am at the very early stages of working on a book around the progressive end of jazz in Britain (well, the London-centric aspect of it, I'm afraid!) in the mid to late 60s and I came across one copy (Feb 1966) of a British magazine from the period called 'Jazz Beat', which contained several useful nuggets.
I'd love to acquire more copies (I believe it started in 1964, no idea when it ended) but it's very rare - none presently on ebay, the British Library doesn't have any...
I’d be very grateful if you could mention this on Bebop Spoken Here - I'm very happy to pay for copies, of course! I can be contacted at: admin@colin-harper.com

Possibly stating the obvious... Have you contacted David Nathan at the National Jazz Archive?
