Beyond the Ballroom: A Celebration of UK Jazz dance
In a special event that combines Dick Jewell's film "The Jazz Room", discussion, DJs and jazz dance, Beyond the Ballroom illuminates the evolution of this critical part of UK dance heritage and it's impact on the club culture that has followed.
UK Acid Jazz mainstay Mark 'Snowboy' Cotgrove concludes the film with a discussion on the scene and a signing of his acclaimed book, 'FROM JAZZ FUNK AND FUSION TO ACID JAZZ: The History Of The Uk Jazz Dance Scene' before playing a short DJ set to accompany some stunning jazz dance in the foyer of mac.

This mix was put together for 2 reasons, to celebrate the launch of Mark Cotgrove’s (Snowboy to you and me) new book on the uk underground jazz dance scene between the 70’s and early 90’s’ - ‘From Jazz Funk & Fusion to Acid Jazz’ in the book he pays tribute to artists, dj’s and dancers. heavily featured is the influential dj, Colin Curtis. since he started dj’n in the 60’s Colin has stepped easily between northern soul, modern soul, jazz, jazz funk and soulful house. his knowledge on music is awesome to say the least. i have the pleasure to call him my friend. the second reason therefore is to provide a sample of the jazz he was playing at the time and you may then understand what a great time we had attending venues such as Blackpool mecca, the Ritz all dayers (Manchester), Rafters (Manchester), and the Berlin (Manchester), plus others. he still djs up and down the country at soul venues and including with us at any fro-disia session. we hope you enjoy it. all comments will be passed on to Colin – teecee
