'Dead of Night Express' is a song taken from Stephen Poliakoff's BBC 2 drama Dancing on the Edge about a black jazz band striving for success in 1930s London. It stars John Goodman, Matthew Goode, and Chiwetel Ejiofor- as Louis Lester- the band leader. 'The Dead of Night Express' is the song that catapults the band to new heights and has them mixing with the British aristocracy. It's a brilliant big band jazz number that has been released on Decca records. The band is made up of real musicians and as well as the vocal talents of the actresses Angela Coulby and Wunmi Mosaku. I'd love the band to actually do a set somewhere like Ronnie Scots- it would be totally great! Check out the video.
