  2. Didn't he write stuff for the BBC Symphony Orchestra back in the 50s i seem to remember his name but must admit I'm not familiar with his own recordings. Thanks jazzandylan worth a listen as i do like the clarinet.

    1. I think that's right - I seem to remember his name being connected with (Bert) Ambrose as an arranger. I suspect there is a Volume 2 EP somewhere around, which would be interesting if anyone out there has access. But this is a good post, one which is very enjoyable. Many thanks for all the hard work.

  3. many thanks. hard to imagine what audience this would have had in 1960 when the trad boom was underway. Phillips was a fine clarinettist who sat beside the great Danny Polo in the pre-war Ambrose reed section.

  7. I have Sid's original recording of Who's Sorry Now. It never ceases to grab me. It's one of the most complete pieces of swing jazz recording by clarinet ever! Thanks for these tracks.
