Review by Mike Shipley

Just a Little Grey Haired Lady by Maurice Winnick is a delightful album that seamlessly blends various genres, including jazz, swing, and big band music. The album features 20 tracks, all of which are expertly arranged and performed by Winnick and his orchestra.

The album opens with the upbeat and energetic "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Other standout tracks include "The Lady in Red," "Dream a Little Dream of Me," and "Ain't Misbehavin'."

Winnick's skill as a bandleader and arranger is evident throughout the album, as he expertly balances the various instruments and creates a cohesive sound that is both timeless and fresh. The musicianship on display is top-notch, with each member of the orchestra contributing to the overall sound.

One of the highlights of the album is Winnick's use of vocalists, who add an extra layer of depth and emotion to the music. The album features several different vocalists, each of whom brings their own unique style and personality to the songs.

About Maurice Winnick

Maurice Winnick (b. March 28, 1902, Manchester, U.K. - d. mid-1960s) violin and band leader. By the age of 14 he was playing in a Manchester cinema orchestra for the silent movies. During the 1930's, Winnick recorded for labels such as Regal, Panachord and Edison Bell Winner in addition to being heard over the BBC. In 1934, Winnick made a daring decision that changed the course of his long career. He completely changed his band's musical style becoming an English counterpart to America's phenomenally successful Guy Lombardo and His Royal Canadians Orchestra. The band included (pianist/vocalist), Ronnie O'Dell (pianist/vocalist), (vocalist) and by the late 1930s, legendary singer . In 1940 his band included (trombone), Don Barrigo (tenor sax), , Bill Shakespeare (trumpet), and Bert Barnes (piano and arranger) with vocalists Al Bowlly and . At the end of World War II, as the big band era came to an end, Maurice disbanded. He became a booking agent for Television shows, then a TV show producer, and was even involved with the formation of the ITV. Many critics feel that his band quite possibly had the most distinctive sound of any British dance orchestra during the 1930s and 1940s.
