The Saints Jazz Band Lost Recording No. 4 This is the 4th cassette that I unearthed with amazement. It's not a commercial tape, and on it is written (not in my handwriting), "The Saints - Unreleased BBC Show". It was indeed a recording of the Saints Jazz Band recorded in Manchester.

The program, "Mostly Jazz", is introduced by Peter Wheeler who Joe Silmon wrote about at length in an article on this site - "The death of a famous broadcaster who loved the Manchester jazz scene and its performers - Peter Wheeler". The band can be heard playing -
