I am another Bacon! I met Max briefly in the sixties just before he died. The Bacons are certainly a talented family, producing painters and musicians.

Its a guess on my part - in Jazz at Ronnie Scotts (book) he is discussed and the description fits -and the time.Tony Crombie and Ronnie mention him.

@hankmobley . Thanks for the info, I'll see if I can find anything else aboutb it , as there is no mention on the movie credits...

Max Bacon was my grandma's cousin. His nephew was Maurice Bacon who drummer with 60s group Love Affair. The drumming gene passed on because I've been a professional drummer all my working life. Such a thrill to find footage of my family heritage. Thanks for posting.

@rickfinlay8 If you google "Windyridge Cd's" there's a Cd available of several of his routines.

@egapnala65 Thanks for that I will check it out. I am gaining more knowledge of my family tree already!

Fascinating and very amusing, Im familiar with Evelyn Dalls distinctive voice from all those wonderful Ambrose recordings so its great actually seeing her.

Max Bacon is always funny, what rhythm that man had!
