Yes, I used to read Jazz Monthly from the late 50s and into the 60s. One writer who hasn't been mentioned is Liverpool jazz humorist (yes, there was such a thing!) Steve Voce ("Is Jutta really hip?") Another, eminently more serious, British critic from that era was Raymond Horricks.

A few years ago I saw Gordon Goodwin's L A based Big Phat Band here in Manchester. This one is reminiscent of that - some of the arrangements are by Goodwin.
