Seven Ages of Jazz is a history of the music we love as it's been played, enjoyed, abused, neglected, distorted and/or corrupted (take your pick) in this country from A.D. 1919 to the present day. Our version of the truth is partial and prejudiced- that's what makes it proper history. The second collaboration between multi-award-winning jazz musician and composer Alan Barnes and multi-award-winning playwright and jazz freak Alan Plater.
