Kenny Baker was widely regarded as the best British jazz trumpeter and cornettist of the post-war era, making his name with the Ted Heath Band in the late '40s before starting his own group, Kenny Baker's Dozen, during the '50s, consistently bringing together some of the top performers of the day in his line-ups. It was with this band that he performed on the first regular jazz programme to appear on BBC Radio's Light Programme "Let's Settle For Music". This 2-CD set comprises two of those Saturday evening broadcasts, from February 2nd & 16th 1957, which were preserved on transcription discs, and which we believe have never previously been made commercially available. The line-up features a stellar array of top British jazz names of the time, notably Phil Seamen on drums, Bill le Sage on vibes, his long-time colleague George Chisholm on trombone along with Keith Christie, bass saxist Harry Klein, Harry Hayes on alto sax, Derek Smith on piano, Lennie Bush on bass and others. It's a fine addition to our expanding catalogue of top quality British modern jazz, which will be snapped up by collectors both for its quality and rarity.
