Charles Richard Jeremy Fox (1921 – 9 May 1991 in Weymouth)[1] was an English writer and broadcaster who specialised in jazz.
[3] He settled in London in the early 1950s working as a sub-editor on the Recorder newspaper and edited a poetry magazine entitled Ninepence founded with the poets Patrick Brangwyn and Christopher Logue.
Fox's earliest broadcasting work was as a substitute presenter of Jazz Today on BBC Radio when its regular presenter, Steve Race, was ill and he began the Jazz in Britain programme which debuted new musicians.
[3] As a member of the Music Advisory Committee of the British Council, he aided the early careers of musicians in gaining work overseas.
[7] With McCarthy, he wrote Jazz on Record: A Critical Guide which was published in 1960, the same year as his own book on Fats Waller.
