0216 Johnny Dankworth [And His Orchestra] FLAC 4(10.11)

















Contributed by bluebird, who comments:-
Some Dankworth big band tracks from 1955/56 are heard here. There were not too many well known names in the band at this time, the best known perhaps, being drummer Kenny Clare.
Later bands in the early/mid 1960s attracted many big jazz names.
