Pearl Hackney) in which he played the nervous Englishman, terrified of being seduced.

Just after the Second
World War, American jazz artists like
Charlie Parker , Miles Davis and Dizzy Gillespie were creating a new 'bebop' sound. In order to hear it, young British jazz musicians worked their passage to New York, playing in the dance bands on the great liners. On the Queen Mary, band members were booked by band leader Geraido. Thus Geraido's Navy was born.
