Sid Phillips was a British jazz band leader and clarinet player, I have no idea of the year of this recording but it is from the original 78 rpm record on the Decca label
I was just listening to an interview with renowned drummer simon phillips and this is his dad!Simon apparently starting sitting in with his dads band from age 6 !!
What a great band was the Sid Phillips band . I find it rather strange that no where on You Tube can I find his recording of 'Basin Street Blues",the very best rendition I ever heard,
featuring his great lady vocalist, Betty Smith; a terrific blues singer.
