TRACKLiST

A Big Band TV Special featuring the reformed New
Squadronaires Orchestra under the leadership of Harry
Bence.

Hear the band play the original wartime swing
arrangements with Sheila Southern, Stutz Bear Cats,
& The Squad Cats. There is also an exclusive interview
with Roy Edwards, band singer and one-time leader of
the original Squadronaires, as well as vocalist with
Geraldo and the Oscar Rabin Band, plus a short history
of the original orchestra.

In 1939 the Royal Air Force implemented a plan to
raise morale and entertain the troops during wartime,
and The Squadronaires was one of the bands organized
as a result. The band drew from some of the best
musicians of the day. It became a popular jazz band
and likely the best known of the English military
dance bands of the time, with hits like "There's
Something in the Air" and "South Rampart Street Parade."
The Squadronaires played at dances and concerts for
service personnel and also broadcast on the BBC
and recorded on the Decca label. The orchestra's
first broadcast took place in January 1941.

After demobilization, the members formed a civilian
band of the same name. Ronnie Aldrich had been
the arranger and co-piano player, but in 1950 he
took over as bandleader, and the band was then
billed as Ronnie Aldrich and The Squadronaires.
The Squadronaires continued to work together under
Ronnie Aldrich until 1964. Bandleader Harry Bence
re-formed the orchestra as the 'New' Squadronaires
until his death in 1997 when musical arranger and
trumpet player Greg Francis took over the leadership
and the The Squadronaires remain as popular today
as they always were.

Enjoy!
