The re-formed Stompers five years after they disbanded at the end of 1953.
Keith joined the 'modernists' after the Stompers broke up and played with all the greats in the UK but here he is back to his roots with his brother Ian.
John Lewis' composition, 'The Golden Striker', is an interesting choice although I believe that Chris Barber also recorded it.
Dickie Hawdon - trumpet
Keith Christie - trombone
Ian Christie - clarinet
Ronnie Duff - piano
Nevil Shrimshire - guitar
Alan Duddington - bass
Pete Appleby - drums

Christie Brothers Stompers - That's Mick Mulligan's rhythm section and don't they play well on "The Golden Striker" (in particular). Both Keith Christie and Dickie Hawdon were in the process of "joining the modernists" but fit in well here. But then most of the music on this EP is neither "traditional" nor "modern", just fine jazz. It speaks volumes of the music "industry" that such fine music has never been reissued on either LP or CD.
