I didnt know that there were such an excellent bands in London. I thought the US was the best for them. Now, Im hooked on them!! Kind of nostalgia, should I say.I was born in Tenerife, Canary Islands, many years ago but I've being living in Texss for 50 years.

What a treat. The early Billy Cotton never ceases to amaze me.
Yet another wonderful compilation, excellently transcribed. Thanks.

[@Panachord]

Pleased you enjoyed the selection.

[@Panachord]

It's my favourite version of "Under The Moon" too. Elizalde hits the right mood.

[@MatthewDLDavidson]

Doesn’t hurt that Adrian Rollini is playing bass sax in the group!

[@c.w.1827]

.....toll....
Herrlich....

[@davidglow3]

If l had to pick my top 5 best dance bands in the world,Elizalde would be in there..The originality of the arrangements and stylish playing really stand out..Rollini and Quealy have never been recorded as well as this

[@petertaylor3600]

I'd have really loved to be able to watch them play but this is the next best thing. Whatever happened to Fred later?

[@rickyrodriguez3244]

15:03 another great one

[@mainaccount131]
