And this another edition of The Best Of British Jazz circa July 2006, only remaining Roy Willox from previous lineups:
Roy Willox sadly passed away on November 25th, 2019. He was 90. Thanks for his great contribution to music. I´m still missing lots of orchestras and albums where he played... I´ll be including more data in the future, but meanwhile here´s my tribute to Roy.
