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. |

I have to say the playing and arrangement are tops. |

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

Here is a list of all the versions of that song, or at least most of them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_Do_You_Keep_the_Music_Playing%3F" rel="nofollow - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_Do_You_Keep_the_Music_Playing%3F

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. |
