RIP!
Johnny Dankworth was one of the heroes of British Modern Jazz.
He was often mentioned here.
“No Room For Squares”
”All political art is bad – all good art is political.”
"Would there be any freedom of press or speech if one must reduce his vocabulary to vapid innocuous euphemisms?"

Famous for leaving London for New York with a Clarinet dressed in Charing Cross Road American style and coming back home with an Alto Sax dressed in Ivy League.
