Alun Morgan

Alun Morgan (24 February 1928 in Pontypridd, Wales – 11 November 2018)[1] was 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.

Over his writing career he completed liner notes for over 2,500 albums, initially for Vogue Records.

From 1954 he contributed to music programmes for BBC Radio.

Shortly after retiring from his other occupation, Morgan emigrated to Australia.
