Having quoted from Robert Cushman's description of Hutch in the previous entry, now seems a good point to paste in a review prepared earlier of a Turner Layton CD, Thanks for the Memory (below) which also makes reference to Cushman's essay.

Greggland
Rather than disfiguring the previous post with audio clips, here they are instead. While it may be fitting that only a limited amount of the particular recordings Hubert Gregg played can be found on youtube, it does mean I can't present the lovely version I heard of Have You Met Miss Jones - and I don't even know who sang it. This version, which cannot be embedded here, is definitely not the recording played on Thanks For the Memory around the early eighties, as it lacks the beautiful verse, but the tempo seems roughly the same. Read about the song's original context here.
The one performance by Hubert Gregg himself which seems available on youtube is not necessarily his best and the audio does not do justice to what I presume is Gordon Langford's piano. But here it is anyway.
