Derek Scott, born in Birmingham in 1950, has a long history of engagement with the British music hall and other forms of light entertainment, as both historian and performer. Many of his own compositions attest to this interest in popular styles, with his craftsmanship and natural feeling for a good tune producing music of immediate appeal. One of his two recent Dance Suites takes it's cue from ska, the twist and other enthusiasms from the early 1960s, and the other from older dance favourites. Time was when works like Arthur Benjamin's Jamaican Rumba and Percy Faith's arrangement of Alfven's Swedish Rhapsody No. 1 could be heard on every domestic radio and record-player; these good-natured Dance Suites recapture some of that lost innocence and it's relaxed energy - but his Serenade, another recent composition, touches gently on deeper feelings.
