5.0 out of 5 stars A Glimpse Of Roy Fox In The Mid-1930s, 13 Sep 2007
By B. McCanna "Barry McCanna" (Normandy, France) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This was one of Vocalion's first dance band reissues, which concentrated on Roy Fox's output between spring 1936 and autumn 1938, during which period he was recording for HMV, after which the band broke up due to his ill-health. His roster of singers during this period included Denny Dennis, who is featured on sixteen tracks, his schoolgirl discovery Mary Lee (4 tracks), trumpeter Sid Buckman (2 tracks), and bass player Barry Gray (3 tracks). Given that there are only 22 tracks, it's perhaps necessary to clarify that they they all put in an appearance on the final track, namely Roy Fox's theme of "Whispering". Unlike Roy Fox's earlier band, there is little outright jazz here, but what there is should satisfy the many devotees of the Golden Age of British Dance Bands.

4.0 out of 5 stars Splendid compilation (four and a half stars), 24 Jun 2008
By JJA Kiefte "Joost Kiefte" (Tegelen, Nederland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Bob Francis, author of the liner notes to this cd calls this a super selection and I fully agree. The choice of tunes is very good, the arrangements, with faultless execution, show off the Roy Fox band to great advantage. The jazzier tunes benefit greatly of a very good rhythm section which provides an effortless drive that eluded most other British bands of the time (listen to "Whispering"; the remake by the Pasadena Roof Orchestra of some forty years later doesn't come within miles of the original!). The ballads are very well done too with rich reed scoring, making very effective use of Art Christmas's baritone saxophone. Unfortunately every now and then traces of Mickey Mouse music seem to be impossible to suppress as in "The Touch of Your Lips" and "Please Believe Me"; together with the terribly effeminate and affected quality of Barry Gray's singing (unbelievable that this is Denny Dennis's brother; I would sooner believe he was a son of the last castrate Alessandro Moreschi, ahem!) they induce me to take off half a star.
But apart from that, highly recommended.
