'Jubilee Stomp' was, in fact, the title of a West Jesmond Rhythm Kings CD. Recorded for Lake Records on 2nd June, 2002 - on the occasion of Queen Elizabeth's Golden Jubilee. As Mike writes in the liner notes:
And what better day to record a jazz album, for was not her Majesty
(then Princess Elizabeth) present at the epochal NFJO Traditional Jazz
concert at the Festival Hall in 1951, thus making her the only British monarch
known to have attended a jazz concert? All right, her Uncle Edward may
have liked jazz and sat in on the drums with several bands in nightclubs
in London and Paris in the thirties, but that's not quite the same as
attending a traditional jazz concert. And anyway, he was a lousy
drummer, prompting a certain Dave Tough to observe after one such sit-in 'Let's
hope that being a King is what he's good at': sadly, he didn't do too
well in that department either.
I should also say that Dave Kerr, from the New Century Ragtime Orchestra (and the original BSH post) did the artwork for the Jubilee Stomp CD!!
