Trumpeter Gerard Presencer's youthful 16-piece band, drawn from NYJO and the Guildhall and Royal Academy jazz courses, enjoyed tripping through his big-band years. Georgie is strong on cultural history and each number came with an information tag. "Tubby Hayes wrote this arrangement of Yeh, Yeh around 1965," he mused. "He was living in a flat just behind Harrods at the time." Two further originals, Singer and The Blues'n'Me, were written for a doomed West End musical project designed for Madeline Bell, "which surfaced only on Dutch radio".

Steve Gray's luscious brass voicings drew crisp solos from Presencer, guitarist Adam Goldsmith and saxophonists Sammy Mayne, Josephine Davies and Tommy Laurence. Anthem for a Band ("There's no better way to earn a wage/Than up here on the stage") and Vinyl ("the one thing I miss/is that little hiss") featured snappy lyrics, too. It was a worthy climax to a week of Fame with his Blue Flames.
