OK 4 samples, I doubt anybody will be unable to identify the leader.

LP London Date Nov 27/28 1969

Totally UK line up except for the leader, so distinctive.

Just d/l now for a listen
OK had lunch feel better.

1,yesterday, I did not like this at all too much like a small orch
2, Lisa, more like it but not quite right it was not the Lisa I was expecting.
3, octo, A trad band yeh OK
4,this guy, a dance or so called big band

It is very hard to pick out bands or individuals when you have not heard this stuff for years, it is quite honestly not the kind of music I would listen to by choice, so there I go bound to upset some body, I must add that it is equally difficult (for me at least) to pick out classical individual performers or to tell the diff between orchestras.
Why do I leave myself wide open????

I suppose it could be a later B.G.

Well, I'll eat my hat if it a BG band the first one to say pass the salt will.....................

Benny Goodman it is. He toured with that band twice in 1970, UK and Europe.

Jeez are they all the same band it does not resemble the original in any way (to me) I am a big fan of Goodman both Big Band and small groups. I can not get over how bad it sounds to my ears

Some enlightenment

Metaphorically speaking, to open a can of worms means to inadvertently create numerous new problems while trying to solve one. Experts disagree on the origin of the phrase, but it is generally believed to be a Canadian or American metaphor coined sometime in the 1950s. Bait stores routinely sold cans of worms and other popular live baits to fishermen, who often discovered how easy it was to open a can of worms and how difficult it was to close one. Once the worms discovered an opportunity to escape, it became nearly impossible to keep them contained
