Mickleburgh was an exuberant trumpeter who leads a hard-driving sextet, pianist Short performs two numbers with a trio that includes clarinetist Pip Gaskell, the Johnny Dodds-inspired clarinetist Laurie is featured with two different groups (including rare titles from 1951 with a quartet that includes trumpeter Les Jowett), and the Christie Brothers Stompers (also from 1951) is represented by eight somewhat ragged ensemble-oriented numbers with the future star Ken Colyer on trumpet.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 15px;" class="">Vol. 2 has a variety of exciting numbers from clarinetist Brian Woolley’s Jazzmen, two more hot sessions from Mickleburgh’s Bobcats, four selections by cornetist Mick Gill’s Jazz Band, a version of “Eh La Bas” from the Crane River Jazz Band (which includes Colyer and clarinetist Monty Sunshine), and clarinetist Acker Bilk’s first studio session as a leader, a primitive set from 1955.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 15px;" class="">Vol. 3 has two more sessions by Bobby Mickleburgh’s Bobcats but one with the leader switching effectively to trombone. Also included are dates that give listeners early glimpses into the playing of clarinetist Sandy Brown, trumpeter Kenny Ball (on two numbers led by veteran trombonist George Chisholm), cornetist Humphrey Lyttelton (“Panama” from 1949), and cornetist Mike Daniels’ Delta Jazzmen.</p><div class="cI6f7Bhu" style="box-sizing: inherit;
