and the Cuban Caballeros
Presented by Elizabeth Cowell
Who is Don Felipe ? This question has been asked very frequently ever since this combination first came on the air. The answer is Phil Green , the accordion-player who has played regularly with much success in the BBC Salon Orchestra and been responsible for the ' Rhythm on Reeds' programmes, which are so highly regarded by highbrow jazz connoisseurs.

Phil Green was the mysterious Joe Paradise , the band-leader whose identity was kept secret for some time.
