Reginald King has that flair for a very rare thing-the composing of melodious music and the putting over to the best advantage of the melodious music composed by others. He has been broadcasting for some eleven years, and is among the few whose compositions are regularly broadcast by other light-music combinations. Just over a year ago he replaced the Celebrity Trio with the Reginald King Quartet. The addition of a viola gives breadth and colour to the ensemble.
