'When I first visited the National Jazz Archive at Loughton I was amazed at the sheer quantity of resources available. Having a readily available record of jazz in the UK is such a valuable thing. As a musician moving forwards in jazz it is important to be able to look back. I thank all the volunteers who enable this, they do a superb job'. Adrian Cox |
