0628 Chevalier Brothers [Live And Jumping] FLAC 9(32.22)

Contributed by bluebird, who writes:-
Many of you in the UK, particularly in the London area, will remember that lively jump band The Chevalier Brothers playing in the local pubs and clubs (and busking in the streets at the start) during the 1980s.
Here they are with their first lp, and I think their best, which consists of various live recordings from March 1985.
It's rough and ready jump and jive music (with a strong Louis Jordan influence) but great fun and very well received by the crowds as you can hear. They only made a handful of records and the personnel did change over their short life. They took their group name from their French guitarist and leader, Maurice Chevalier, but this was a pseudonym as were most of the names of the other musicians.
Raymondo (later shortened to Ray) Gelato was the more mundanely named Ray Irwin. Roger Beaujolais was Roger Downham. Chevalier was born Patrice Serapiglia. Clark Kent was Superman in a previous life and John Piper was a well known painter (pictures not houses).
The main soloists Ray Gelato and Roger Beaujolais, are still very active in music. Ray is actually a very good tenor saxophonist and still leads a more sophisticated version of the Chevaliers. Roger has gone all respectable and plays straight ahead jazz these days.
