NOTE: Arthur LALLY  (b.1901 in Seaforth, Liverpool – d. 1940 in London) British dance-jazz band leader, alto saxophonist, clarinetist and arranger. Arthur Lally was born to a family of an army band conductor. Arthur played first trumpet and cornet, before switching to alto saxophone. He first played in 1922 at the Hammersmith Palace, at the night club Ciro's in London and at the Savoy Hotel with the Savoy Orpheans (1925 to 1926). In 1927 he played in the orchestra of Bert Firman and in the 43 Club in London and in 1928/29 in the orchestra of Bert Ambrose. In 1930-33 he led his own orchestra, sometimes labelled as Arthur Lally's Million-Airs or The Rhythm Maniacs and in later years he took a lot of freelancing, among other things, with the Rhythmic Eight of Bert Firman (solos from alto saxophone and bass saxophone). From 1933 he worked primarily as an arranger and was musical director at Decca Records, where for some time he led the Decca's house band named The Decca-Dents. In the end of the 1930s he suffered from depression and took his own life in 1940.
