WAS surprised and disappointed that there was no report of the Acker Bilk concert in the Town Hall on October 5, in either the Saturday or Monday issue of the Oxford Mail.
Considering that Bilk – who recently received a lifetime award for services to jazz, along with Chris Barber and Humphrey Lyttleton – was in the forefront of the traditional jazz revival in the 1950s and 1960s, this was a serious omission.
Of course, I appreciate that space is always limited for journalistic content, but I do notice that occasionally advertising is included under the guise of journalism. I look foward to improved jazz coverage in the future.
