On this video - 'My Autumn Love' which was composed for Rediffusion in the 1970s and performed several times with the BBC Radio Orchestra. This John Wilson recording features the lovely flugel horn playing of Tony Fisher and the excellent sax of Howard McGill. Enjoy the lovely Autumnal images which evoke bitter sweet impressions of another maturing year. A time of reflection and a little melancholy. Autumn is definitely my favourite season. .N.B.
