Yes, dg3, this is one of the first. Within months, the labels said 'Directed by Jack Hylton', which paid off handsomely for him 2 years later.
There's a link to an excellent bio at the Jack Hylton website on my Jack Hylton playlist. It is a MUST read for any Hylton fan !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hylton had the same entrepreneurial genius as Walt Disney, creating the 'show band' concept, branching out into West End theatre productions and employing 800 at the height of his carreer ! He died in 1965.
At last a very early Jack Hylton.Fascinating.For 1921 quite high quality of musicianship.l believe JH was the only member who could read music the others played by ear
Hylton is astounding. For that part of the '20's already higher quality musicianship and execution. In my estimation Hylton blew the doors of Paul Whiteman.
Prima...........!!!

The Queen's Dance Orchestra, in '21. Are you sure Queen Mary and King George would have approved of this?
