The Alex Welsh band was one of the most popular, versatile and enjoyable UK jazz outfits that never fails to please. Lovely soloists, very wide repertoire and great musicianship from some of the UK's best swing/dixieland jazz musicians. In it's heyday it was our greatest small jazz outfit and sounds as fresh 40 years on.

I bought this CD to play in the car; I already have several LPs with the Alex Welsh band. This CD has a good range of the numbers Alex used to perform at the 100 Club in London which I used to attend regularly. Alex loved Al Jolson and this CD has a couple of his songs included. A sad loss when Alex died at a young age. He was not as well known as Kenny Ball and Acker Bilk but he was well respected by a number of jazz musicians who visited from the USA and requested Alex Welsh and his band to support them on tour. If you like Chicago type jazz, you should like this CD. There is still an Alex Welsh legacy band performing with some of the musicians featured in this CD.
