And Did Those Feet… examines in depth the lives and work of six British jazz composers – Michael Garrick, Mike Gibbs, Barry Guy, John Mayer, Keith Tippett and Mike Westbrook. Each of these musicians began their careers in jazz in the 1960s, years of artistic and political ferment and upheaval. Music historian Duncan Heining locates those beginnings in the context of changing times and shows how these composers’ work continued to develop whilst remaining influenced by values that continued to be informed by social and cultural concerns.
Duncan Heining began writing about jazz in the mid-nineties. He has written for a number of publications and websites. His other books include Stratusphunk – the Life and Works of George Russell (Jazzinternationale 2020) and Trad Dads, Dirty Boppers and Free Fusioneers - British Jazz, 1960-1975 (Equinox 2012)."
