Dear Graham,
 ³The Bix Beiderbecke Affair² was a terrific 6-part British TV mini-series
starring James Bolam and Barbara Flynn.
The sound track featured a lot of jazz so perhaps your CD features music
from the series.

Actually, Bill, it was titled "The Beiderbecke Affair". Most of the
incidental music was recorded for the series as below:

[The Beiderbecke Collection. Dormouse DM20. This is the soundtrack of the
highly successful British television series The Beiderbecke Affair, The
Beiderbecke Tapes, and The Beiderbecke Connection. There are fifteen sides,
all but one (Cryin' all Day) composed by Frank Ricotti, and played by Frank
Ricotti All Stars featuring Kenny Baker on cornet. The CD was released in
1988.]
