Re: Gone recently :(

Another sad farewell, this time to that great saxaphonist, Sir Johnny Dankworth who was 82. He and his wife Cleo Laine were a great partnership in the jazz world.

RIP

We watched Mary Poppins over the festive period and commented on Ian Carmichael then, wondering if he was still around.

Re: Gone recently :(

The first John Dankworth record I bought was "Experiments with Mice" since then I have added many recordings by John and Cleo and more recently Jacqui Dankworth a talented family.

R I P Sir John.

Re: Gone recently :(

I am so sorry to hear of the death of Sir John, he and his wife Cleo lived in Wavendon in Milton Keynes and ran a wonderful theatre there where many of the golden oldie music was played again. Rest in Peace Sir you were one of the greats.
