Favorite
British jazz trombonist, big bandleader and author.
Considered to be one of the greatest British jazz bandleaders.
Born March 30, 1902 in Wandsworth, South London, England.
Died November 18, 1969 in Virginia Water, Surrey, England.
Married to songwriter Moira Heath (December 16, 1933-November 18, 1969, his death). They wrote songs together, sometimes using the pseudonym "Frances Ash" (though not for all of their songs).
His orchestra charted 9 times between 1958 and 1961, all in the UK, with their top hit being their first--"Swingin' Shepherd Blues" in 1958. It hit #3 on the charts.
He published his autobiography in 1957, "Listen to my Music: The fabulous success story of the famous band leader".
