a very fine band with some lovely solos: it makes me proud to be British!

@electrichaggis Jim was the best - and still is thanks to all the Tempo reissues his brilliance lives on
Let's give a mention, too to the one everyone forgets - on trbone Ken Wray. Ken, Jim and Derek Humble were great mates and worked together whenever possible (they all worked with Kurt Engalhagen in Germany, Germany's answer to Ted Heath). Ken played valve and slide trombones and a mean bass trumpet. He died in 1977

Fabulous sounds bringing back memories of my mid teens in the U.K. when i used to listen to late night jazz music on the BBC on my valve radio.......... such sweet memories never to repeated.

Hi electrichaggis. Jimmy Deuchar was without doubt the best British modern jazz trumpet player of his time. I first saw him at the Marine Ballroom in Arbroath in the late 1950's sitting in with his father's band. (he played alto) I later used to see him at Ronnie Scott's old place then at the Bull's Head in Barnes. ALWAYS FABULOUS! Incidentally, I went to school in Carnoustie and Arbroath with his lovely sister!! Regards, saxhaggis (no relation to electrichaggis)

what is the name of this song?
That's right katamail, the baritone players are Ronnie Ross & Jack Sharpe. Ian Hamer and Les Condon are the other two trumpets besides Jimmy Deuchar. Interesting that your hear a Gonsalves influence, Henderbeast. He recorded with a lot of the members of this band that same year on an album titled 'Just Friends'.
