FROM TODAY'S FEATURED ARTICLE

Ken "Snakehips" Johnson (10 September 1914 – 8 March 1941) was a swing band
leader and leading figure in black British music of the 1930s and 1940s. Born in
British Guiana, he was educated in Britain and travelled to New York to immerse
himself in the Harlem jazz scene. He returned to Britain and established the
Aristocrats (or Emperors) of Jazz, a mainly black swing band, with Leslie
Thompson. In 1937 Johnson took control of the band through a legal loophole,
causing the departure of Thompson and several musicians. Johnson filled the
vacancies with Caribbean musicians, the band's popularity grew, and it changed
its name to the West Indian Dance Orchestra. In 1938 the band broadcast on BBC
Radio, recorded their first discs and appeared in an early television broadcast.
Johnson was considered a pioneer for black musical leaders in the UK. While the
band was employed as the house band at the Café de Paris, a German bombing raid
in 1941 hit the nightclub, killing Johnson. (Full article...)
