Name: Buddy's Brigade (Spike Hughes and his Dance Orchestra) - Kiss By Kiss - 1932 by Henry Parsons in New private playlist
Duration: 3 min 9 s
Description: Spike Hughes' recording orchestra moonlighting from their Decca contract under the name of saxophonist Buddy Featherstonhaugh. London, 1932 (apparently not listed in Rust/Forbes.)

All the Spike Hughes sides were listed in Rusts' jazz discography, since Rust probably didn't consider his band a dance one!

Buddy enjoyed some renown but was "merely" the best hot tenor player in London at the time. I frankly find his playing kind of flatfooted but I appreciate him trying to blaze a trail with no role models on the local scene. It's not easy to do.
