Nat Gonella .. The British Louis! 1931-34 sides for Decca with Don Barrigo, Ernest Ritte, Garland Wilson and Al Bowlly

Nat Gonella - the first popular British jazz artist, here on the first records under his own name.  Very Louis Armstrong-inspired playing and singing with small groups including the under-recorded pianist Garland Wilson, the tenor saxophonist Don Barrigo and many players from the Roy Fox Orchestra of the period (1931-34) before Gonella went out on his own with his Georgians. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/john-clark49/support
