LETTER FROM BRITAIN

With the ritual switching-on of Christmas lights in Regent Street, the growing winter gloom seems officialized: “winter” meaning the damp chill that’s begun to sneak up every sleeve and down each collar, plus the sinking feeling that sets in when it’s dark by four o’clock. In these circumstances, rock culture moves quick—often indoors and often onto film.
Big hit in the capital, for instance, has ® National Film Theatre’s London u m ^estival (open to the public as well as e Press) ; because of its new focus on music culture.” Bets are being taken that Channel 4—still our White Hope on the tube can make at least the two excellent jazz features (Chflck France’s Jazz In Exile and Art Pepper: Notes From A Jazz Survivor by Don Glynn) showcased by the Fest available to the rest of the UK.
