Content and context

It is not known at what date the Cambridge University Jazz Club was formed but it was certainly in existence by 1940. It was a student body intended ''to further the appreciation of jazz, and to give amateur musicians the opportunity to play together in public''. The society held weekly meetings and organised Jazz sessions. The club wound itself up in 1977.

The records were transferred to the University Archives from the Manuscripts Department on 12 November 2007. They had been deposited on indefinite loan by Dr P. Gaskell, Trinity College, Cambridge, with the Manuscripts Department on 15 June 1983 and had been give the classmark Ms.Add.8384.
