Maybe someone can help me find this recording... I heard a big band alto saxophone feature recording of How Do We Keep The Music Playing by Michel Legrand. I called the radio station and they said it was The BBC Big Band, featuring Barry Robinson on alto sax.
How can best I listen to this? If it is indeed the BBC Big Band, can you point me to how I can buy a copy? Thank you very much. Marsh DeMott

I just tried several different searches and nothing came up, we probably need the name of the album, if it exists.

You may want to ask the DJ where the song comes from, because I can not find it on any albums.

This would have have a BBC radio session, and not a commercial recording. It would therefore not be available for purchase.

Hi there, The track you are asking about is my recording of that song with the BBC Big Band. I was the Lead Alto Sax with the BBC Big Band/Radio Orchestra from 1969-2000. I will check to see if I can find it in my collection of my recordings and let you know. Thanks for your inquiry.
