Terry Cox |
Drummer Terry Cox is probably best remembered in music for his time with the famous UK folk-jazz band Pentangle. From their formation in 1967 to 1973, the band included Jacqui McShee (vocals); John Renbourn (vocals and guitar); Bert Jansch (vocals and guitar); Danny Thompson (double bass) and Terry Cox (drums). Danny Thompson and Terry brought a key jazz influence to the band as they were already established musicians in the jazz world..
Terry William Harvey Cox was born in Buckinghamshire in March 1937. His story, according to John Chilton’s Who’s Who Of British Jazz, tells how he started out sitting in at High Wycombe’s Cadena Club and took lessons from Jack Peach. Terry’s first professional work was with Michael Garrick in 1960/1961 and then with the Lennie Felix Trio from 1961-1962. He joined the Al Fairweather – Sandy Brown band in late 1962 and was with them until 1964.
