[78-L] Alto sax style

[Royal Pemberton]

This side was under Les's name.  It was on the flip of part 1 of 'Big noise'
(sometimes known as 'Limelight'; not the same song as 'Big noise from
Winnetka') which had this same rhythm section but also had (IIRC) tenor
saxists  Lucky Thompson and Jack McVea and trumpeter Howard McGhee.
