Billy Cotton:- " The New Tiger Rag "

William Edward Cotton (6 May 1899 25 March 1969), better known as Billy Cotton, was a British band leader and entertainer, one of the few whose orchestras survived the dance band era. Today, he is mainly remembered as a 1950s and 1960s radio and television personality, although his musical talent emerged as early as the 1920s. In his younger years Billy Cotton was also an amateur footballer for Brentford F.C., an accomplished racing driver and the owner of a Gipsy Moth which he piloted himself.

What an excellent piece of music, I particularly like the solo approx 68 seconds in. Any idea who the soloist is?
