Geoffrey Smith pays tribute to West Coast jazz trumpeter Shorty Rogers (1924-94), who starred with Woody Herman and Stan Kenton, led his own quirky bands and wrote jazz scores for hit Hollywood films and composed extensively for television.
There used to be an oldish bloke who played S London pubs in very good Shorty Rogers style till quite recent years but seems to have dropped off the radar or passed on. Can't now recall his name. Not Dick Pearce, who's more towards Art Farmer methinks.
