Trumpeter Jimmy Deuchar was one of the unsung heroes of British post-war modern jazz, both as musician, bandleader and arranger. He made his debut with the original Johnny Dankworth Seven, and in the following years enlivened some of the best bands working in Britain. These Tempo recordings, originally released in scattered form on rare EPs, 10 inch LPs and multi-artist anthologies, form an impressive body of work and the line-ups include the cream of his contemporaries Tony Crombie, Victor Feldman, Tubby Hayes, Derek Humble, Phil Seamen, Terry Shannon, Harry South, Stan Tracey and Ken Wray.
