(UK) Jack
McCormick directed the very popular "Ambassadors" at the
Rialto Ballroom and at Lewis's Restaurant, Liverpool from the early 1930s until his untimely death in
1953 (with a break during WWII).
Jack was a multi-instrumentalist, but usually played clarinet and
alto-saxophone with the band. The Ambassadors made few recordings, 8
titles for Panachord in 1936 being pretty much the whole output, though
there is a rare 1933 recording for local company
"Majestic" too. |

Arthur
Muston (UK) Violin
& Bandleader
Arthur Muston and his Orchestra were based in Rugby, Warwickshire, at least
in the early 1930s. In October 1931, they won the local Melody Maker Dance
Band contest and, judging by a comment in "Rhythm" magazine in 1933, they
won further contests (possibly organised by "Rhythm") in 1932 and 1933.
Although the report on the 1931 contest (see right) has some criticism of
the band (intended to be constructive), it is obvious from its contest
record that this was a top band locally. Unfortunately we shall never be
able to hear the band, but, thanks to Brian Cook, we have an excellent
photograph of the band of this period (see right). Brian's father, Ray Cook,
played saxophone & violin in the band (third from left in the photo).
The only other name we have (apart from Arthur Muston himself, who is
sitting behind the shield) is S. Cawthorne, the drummer, who gets a mention
and a prize in the 1931 contest, and he could be the drummer in the picture. |

Jeff
Muston (UK) Trombone.
Jeff (or Geoff) Muston was based in the Midlands. By the mid-1930s he was
playing in Tony's Red Aces, at Tony's Ballroom in Birmingham. He left Tony's
in early 1936 to join Billy Merrin's Commanders, one of the top provincial
bands, based in Nottingham. He remained with Merrin until at least 1937,
making a number of records with the band during this period. |
