Van Straten And His Orchestra (1940)

[@divaden47]

Such style is sadly missing nowadays! Thank goodness for British Pathe News!!

Suave is hardly the word! I'd never heard of this bandleader until now. Love his sound.

The sound of this orquestra is very relaxing and melodious and with a lot of rhythm.
The conductor, Jack Payne, exercises around a lot.

[@annbarton5600]

The conductor is Leon Van Straten

Absolutely lovely! Thank you!

I believe the singer is Julie Dawn

Pathe might have given the poor girl a close-up!
