Underrated piano player, arranger, composer. He died aged 30 from a fondness for grog and TB. I was doing some research on him as I was looking for a better version of his song "Madam Dynamite" than the versions I have where the sound is not great.
Good quality version with Eddie Condon on this CD:
http://www.amazon.com/Aint-Nice-Recordi ... 973&sr=8-1
Remastering and sources from John Davies.
Also there is a great tribute CD by Hal Smith's Rhythmakers (unfortunately they don't do a version of Madam Dynamite)
http://www.amazon.com/Lets-Have-Jubilee ... 973&sr=8-2
Includes previously unrecorded versions of his compositions A Glutton For Love, Answer My Heart and Children, Walk With Me.
