Hello John,
If you'd ever consider selling your Alec Wilder Parlophone, I'd be
interested. I have most of the Rhythm-Style Series issues, but this is one
of a few I'm missing.

Best regards,

Tim Huskisson.

I'm looking for a little info. on Alec Wiilder, who it seems  was /  still 
is  not  much regarded in the States. This is no doubt why he doesn't figure

in either the jazz   or  American D. B.  discographies  (tho' I don't have 
access to the latest editions thereof).
I have a British  Parlophone of  "A  debutante's  diary"  and  "Neurotic 
goldfish"  in their   "super rhythm" series, which seems to me to qualify as

jazz just as well as, say, Reginald  Foresythe's efforts, or some of the 
more whimsical big swing band's  arrangements:  in  fact, for 1939 ( I 
think)  it has some pre-bop intimations.
Can anyone tell me the exact date, and any of the personnel of the octet ?

Thanks, guys


John  Goslin
