Jazz Forum was a British-based "quarterly review of jazz and literature" founded and edited by Albert J. McCarthy (1920–1987) and published by the Delphic Press from 1946 — surviving only five issues until 1947. According to the jazz writers Peter Clayton and Peter Gammond, the publication offered good features by distinguished contributors.[1] It was a short-lived but highly acclaimed experiment in linking jazz, poetry, literature, and graphic art in a post-World War II avant-garde British era. Several of the contributors were among the foremost Beat and modern writers of the time. The graphic art was also forward.[2] The publication had useful discographies of then under-rated musicians.[1][3] Contributors to the first 32-page issue included Stanley Dance, Charles Delaunay, Langston Hughes, Hugues Panassie, Roger Pryor Dodge in a mix of poetry and book reviews.
