Does anyone know the name of the jazzband playing at the village fair in last Sundays Midsomer Murders.

Episode entitled Orchis Fatalis

They played Bill Bailey brilliantly, but were not mentioned in the credits.

According to Joan Street's excellent Midsomer site http://www.geocities.com/TelevisionCity/satellite/9476/midsomer.htm the band were 'Derek Tatam's Chicagoans"

I cannot tell a lie - it is us The Derek Tatam Chicagoans!

We were constrained by tby the M M people to using only tunes that were out of copyright which left us with all the old warhorses - apart from - Davenport Blues - Bix died young enough for it to be included, the director chose the very best bit, the break frrom it.

The sound man kindly gave me a Minidisc of everything we recorded so iif you'd like a copy name your preferred medium MD, tape or CID I guess.

It's obviously been a long time since you posted your question but hope this helps.

We also made a brief appearance but a long background play in "Who Killed **** Robin" an earlier episode.

Derek Tatam
