Stanley Black - Latin Rhythms

Stanley Black - Latin Rhythms (1949)

Slightly built, dark haired, unassuming - Stanley Black scarcely gives the impression of being one of Britain's most active men of popular music. Yet this very diffidence - or seeming diffidence, allied to keen understanding of his fellow musicians, is probably what makes this soft-spoken authoritarian so effective a figure on the podium. And were he not endowed with these unique characteristics, it is unlikely that he could keep pace with the many demands on his services.
Since 1945 he has held down the exacting post of Musical Director to the BBC Dance Orchestra, which, under the Black baton, has become one of the most brilliant all-round outfits to be heard on the British air-waves. So frequently does this orchestra broadcast that the knowledgeable listener must often wonder how Stanley manages to fit ill his active career as a writer and conductor of film music - a sphere in which he is gaining prestige every day. And all this aside from his recording work - both as an accompanist of vocalists (a field wherein he is almost without equal) and as a band-leader in his own right, as on the present set of records.
