The Flying Jazz Queens were a South African mbaqanga jive combo functioning in the fifties and sixties, and fierce (but friendly) rivals of the slightly more famous Dark City Sisters. The band names suggest that (music aside) the Flying Jazz Queens were the Noel Coward to the Dark City Sisters' Lord Buckley. It's lovely to hear this colourful music while looking out the window on a drizzle-spattered London.
