Jed Williams

John Ellis Dowell Williams, known as Jed Williams (June 12, 1952 - November 10, 2003), was a Welsh jazz journalist and the artistic director of the Brecon Jazz Festival.

Williams was born in Cardiff and educated at the Howardian Grammar School. By the time he left school, he was already a semi-professional jazz drummer. He played as a support musician for touring performers such as Wild Bill Davison and Buddy Tate. In the 1980s, he became one of the organisers of the Welsh Jazz Society, and in 1983, he became organiser of the Brecon Jazz Festival. In 1991, he founded the magazine "JazzUK", which he also edited.
