| Len
Lee (UK)
Violinist (and
occasional saxophonist) who was a
member of Fred Elizalde's band at the Savoy Hotel in 1928, having
previously played at the Empress Rooms (band name unknown). In the Early
1940s he was again at the Savoy, but under Carroll Gibbons direction and
subsequently took part in a number of shows for ENSA. Unfortunately,
that's all I can find out about him at the moment, but his grandson,
Matthew, has provided me with some photographs which you can see by
clicking the link on the far right. (NOTE: Arthur Rosebery's drummer &
vocalist Len Lees is a different musician.) |

| Benny Loban
(UK) Russian-born
violinist and bandleader, Benny Loban led a reformed Savoy Orpheans in
1930 before forming his very popular "Music Weavers" the
following year. Benny played at the Gaiety Theatre, Ayr and the West End
Dance Hall, Birmingham for some years as well as being a member of
Debroy Somers Band. Benny has left few recordings for us to judge him
by, but the regular mentions in the leading music journals of the day
testify to his popularity and, by definition, the high standard of his
music. |
