Jack Hylton's reputation can be compared with Paul Whiteman's. As well as being one of the greatest showmen of jazz, he is a fine musician who has a band that is second to none for entertainment.
Hylton was born in Bolton some forty-five years ago, and after the war he became a pianist in a London dance orchestra. His own band first broadcast from the Piccadilly Hotel.
