Music by contemporary British composers
played by Sidney Davey and his Players
Sidney Davey , who made his radio debut in 1931 when he was pianist and arranger with Alfred Van Dam 's orchestra, formed his players essentially for broadcasting. They were first heard on the air three months before war broke out. Led by Norbert Wethmar , they were an ensemble of nine: two violins, viola, cello, bass, flute, clarinet, oboe, and piano-the latter played by Davey. His idea in forming the combination was to present music of every type in contrast-a typical programme of his being, for instance, ' Song and Dance ' which presented every form of dance music-ballet, gavotte, the waltz, the modern foxtrot-interspersed by ballads.

' Bechet '
A talk by James Holloway illustrated with gramophone records
Sydney Bechet , born in New Orleans in 1893, his grandparents on his mother's side French, is recognised as one of the finest soprano clarinettists in the world. In 1920 he took up this instrument, and, though he had never learnt to read music, he was soon playing with all the leading dance-band leaders in the States. He first came to Europe with the Southern Syncopated Orchestra in 1919-the first coloured orchestra that London had seen-and returned again in 1926. About four years ago, when he was a member of the Irving Mills special recording band, he became the vogue in America, the sale of his records reaching very big figures.
