presents a jam session by the St. Regis Quintet
Compere, Charles Chilton
The St. Regis Quintet consists of George Shearing, piano ; Russ Allen , bass ; Ben Edwards , drums ; Chick Mayes , cornet ; and Harry Parry , clarinet.
Most of these boys have often been heard broadcasting with other bands, but for the last two or three months they have been playing together at the St. Regis Restaurant in Mayfair. They are expert in providing smooth, sophisticated dance music, but in this jam session we may expect them to let themselves go, and as all five are virtuosos of their instruments, Rhythm Club fans may expect something really worth while. Listen particularly for George Shearing , the blind pianist, who at the age of twenty has been acclaimed as the best swing pianist in Britain today.
