Description
The chapter discusses jazz's general downturn in popularity, with ad hoc playing arrangements and fewer clubs offering live jazz. At the turn of the decade, musicians such as Lee Morgan began to involve themselves in co-operative and collective action. The chapter further presents the Beatles' success and the effects it had on jazz.
