From 1955-65 the historian Eric Hobsbawm took the pseudonym ´Francis Newton´ and wrote a monthly column for the New Statesman on jazz - music he had loved ever since discovering it as a boy in 1933 (´the year Adolf Hitler took power in Germany´). Hobsbawm´s column led to his writing a critical history, The Jazz Scene (1959). This enhanced edition from 1993 adds later writings by Hobsbawm in which he meditates further ´on why jazz is not only a marvellous noise but a central concern for anyone concerned with twentieth-century society and the twentieth-century arts.´
