Ex UK dance band great Jack Payne's later 1958 light orchestral album "Say It With Music".
Here's the title track.
Desmond Carrington used it as his theme tune for his near twenty-five year Sunday afternoon BBC radio programme of easy listening music.

I have been delving into some late 1920s and early 1930s jazz - from people like Red Nichols, Frankie Trumbauer, Fletcher Henderson, and Chick Webb. Anyone a fan of that music?

Absolutely - Bix, Teagarden, Tatum, Benny Carter, Duke Ellington, Coleman Hawkins, Count Basie, Art Tatum, Benny Goodman, Pee Wee Russell, The Dorsey Brothers, Johnny Hodges, Billie Holiday and of course Louis Armstrong.

Love it!!!
Louis Armstrong's Hot Fives and Hot Sevens recordings from 1925-30 and Bix Biederbecke - both of course associated with our guy. Toe tappingly magnificent and so intricate.
Plus soul seemingly emerged from Artie Shaw's clarinet. I respect his reasons for doing so but I still find it such a potential loss that he permantly laid down his instrument in 1954 with another fifty years of life to live.
