Dear Tim,
Thank you for keeping me up-to-date with these developments. They sound
very interesting and stimulating and I shall certainly check out your
website.

Last week I attended the New Jazz Histories Seminar at Salford
University with my colleagues Paul Long and Andrew Dubber. It was a
diverse and stimulating day, and I'd commend the next seminar to you
all.
Paul and I gave a presentation on the BBC documentary series Jazz
Britannia. This is part of a wider project we are developing on
popular music history and heritage at the Birmingham School of
Media*s
Interactive Cultures research centre. We*ll be writing this paper up
as a full journal article, and I*ll post some of the background
thinking at my blog -- Wallofsound -- over the next few weeks,
starting with the key points of our presentation.
I have written a blog post about jazz historiography stimulated by the
seminar proceedings, and responding to the other papers. I thought
some of you in the wider constituency of jazz scholars would be
interested, and so if you've five minutes to spare go to:

Your comments are very welcome.
