Alun Morgan (born 1928, Pontypridd, Wales) is a British jazz critic and writer. Morgan became interested in jazz as a teenager during World War II, and Charlie Parker became a significant influence on him in the late 1940s. Morgan began to write on jazz from the early 1950 for ''Melody Maker'', ''Jazz Journal'', ''Jazz Monthly'' and ''Gramophone'' (and for 20 years from 1969 a weekly jazz column in a local Kent newspaper). Over his writing career he completed liner notes for over 2,500 albums, initially for Vogue Records. From 1954 he contributed to music programmes on BBC radio. He is the author of an influential book on modern jazz in England and co-author of several books on jazz records. He has lectured on jazz at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and the Royal Academy of Music in London. In addition, until 1991 he was a full-time architect. Shortly after retiring from his other occupation, Morgan emigrated to Australia.〔("Alunn Morgan" ), All-Music〕 ==Works== *with Raymond Horricks ''Modern Jazz - A survey of developments since 1939'', London, Gollancz, 1956; Westport, CT, Greenwood Publishing, 1977 *''Count Basie'', (Jazz Masters series), Spellmount Publishers, 1984 *with Albert McCarthy, Paul Oliver, Max Harrison ''Jazz on record: a critical guide to the first 50 years'', London: Hanover Books, 1968; New York: Oak Publications, 1968 *with Charles Fox, Peter Gammond, Alexis Korner ''Jazz On Record: A Critical Guide'', Grey Arrow/Hutchinson, 1960 *Max Harrison, Ronald Atkins, Michael James, Jack Cooke ''Modern Jazz-The Essential Records'', Aquarius Books, 1975 *with Keith Shadwick, Dave Gelly, Steve Voce, Brian Priestley ''The Gramophone Jazz Good CD Guide'', Gramophone Publications, 1995, 1998 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alun Morgan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
