Featuring Simone from the latter days of the Ivy Benson Orchestra plus Chris Smith (Jnr) composer and arranger for Glenn Miller’s Brother, Herb and the BBC Radio Big Band. Chris Says, " I've been brought up with this style of music as my father (Chris Smith Snr) played trombone for Frank Sinatra on his European tours.
