Terry Lightfoot (born 21 May 1935, Potters Bar, Middlesex - now Hertfordshire - England) is a British clarinettist and bandleader, and together with Chris Barber, Acker Bilk and Kenny Ball was one of the leading members of the trad jazz generation of British jazzmen.
Early life
Lightfoot started his musical career as a vocalist during school-life, singing popular songs with a small amateur variety group. In 1949, he came to jazz while at Enfield Grammar School in Enfield (Outer London). He changed from playing the trumpet to clarinet to meet the needs of the traditional Dixieland jazz band of his friends. After leaving school, he formed his first jazz band, the 'Wood Green Stompers'.
Trad jazz
In 1955, he formed his band, the 'Terry Lightfoot's New Orleans Jazzmen'. They had three minor hit records in the UK Singles Chart in 1961 and 1962 with "True Love", "King Kong" and "Tavern in the Town".
