0016 Various Artists [Black British Swing] FLAC 24(1.09.48)

Contributed by delmonico, who comments:-
Something different here. The black or 'coloured' bands of the 30s and 40s in the UK and whilst the names may not be too familiar there are some who went to make further contributions to British jazz and popular music in later years.
These are recordings from the British National Sound Archive and listeners are urged to buy the cd which has a superb 40 page booklet detailing the history of the bands and the period in which they thrived. 
Ripped in FLAC from cd with some booklet scans.
