Ronnie Scott's nine piece band from 1954... | |
The picture of the Rhythm Racketeers (above) has been in Denny Termer's possession for nearly 70 years. His son Robert kindly copied it and sent it for us to print here. As Robert says: "It's amazing to think that this was Denny's, Don's, Laurie's and Stan's first pro band together. It was the war that split them up. And to think that all four of them made it to the top level and had and have great career's. Wonderful stuff!" |
