An interesting visual spectacle with clever musicianship. Jack Payne's French is heavily British-accented rather than 'excellent'. Full marks for at least trying, though.
Great video, my grandfather is the young violinist on the right, its the only footage i've seen of him as he died in 1956. I have been searching for some footage from the Jack Payne films "say it with music" and "sunshine ahead " that he would of appeared in but have had no luck.
Thanks for posting. Do you know who the trumpeter is ?

Jack Payne would have known French from his RFC days. Is the solo saxophonist E O Pogson?

It's indeed probably "Poggy" Pogson on baritone sax here.
