Leslie Jeffries and his orchestra are one of the most popular combinations on the air. Although only thirty-eight years of age, Mr. Jeffries has had nearly a quarter of a century of active life in his profession. He has played in many parts of the world, including New York where, at the age of fifteen, he conducted an orchestra of thirty musicians.
Although Mr. Jeffries is a serious musician at heart he realises that his job is not to educate, but to entertain, and therefore he must carefully study the varied tastes of his public. He has found by experience that well written and well played music of a light and tuneful character is what is mostly demanded and enjoyed.
