December 1951, The Sunset Club in London’s Carnaby Street. A quote from Russ Henderson: “Even if you’d never met a Jamaican or an African, you got together in London,” says Henderson. “And Soho was the place in those days, particularly the Sunset Club in Carnaby Street, where jazz played till seven in the morning. That was where the musicians went when the other clubs closed: West Indians and Africans along with the Chris Barbers and the Humphrey Lyttletons. Racially, it was totally mixed. There was no such thing as a black clientele then.” Whereas previously 50 Carnaby Street was almost solely frequented by black men and women, the rebrand to the Sunset Club created an audience that was much more racially mixed, with punters coming from far and wide to dance to jazz until 7am. As migration from the Caribbean increased post-Windrush, the music of the islands thus started to become something of a mainstay at the Sunset Club. December 1951 Previously unpublished photo essay discovered in the negative archives of TopFoto, Edenbridge, Kent in 2019.
