Firstly, it needs six or seven musicians who have roughly similar tastes in jazz, secondly they need to get on as people, thirdly the band needs to acquire a musical competency which can produce a likeable sound and fourthly it needs the luck to find local replacements when, for whatever reason, members leave. This book tells the story of such a jazz band based in West Sussex which has enjoyed these elements of luck fo 44 years."
