Description
The sides recorded by Philip Lewis and the Rhythm Maniacs for Decca in 1928 to 1930 have been described by discographer Brian Rust as recordings of "a remarkably high standard from the point of view of a hot dance music collector". Indeed, they have become amongst the most prized records within the "hot" British dance band category.
The jazz-flavoured sound of these sessions owe much to saxophonist Arthur Lally, a fine musician and arranger, and the recordings on this CD are amongst the very best examples of his work. The group has a light, free-wheeling style, with plenty of opportunity for individual solos. Other featured musicians include Sylvester Ahola, Danny Polo, Ted Heath and Spike Hughes.
