Jack Jackson (20 February 1906 – 15 January 1978) was an English trumpeter and bandleader popular during the British dance band era, and who later became a highly influential radio disc jockey.. Hylton joined Jack Payne and the BBC Dance Orchestra in 1931. He left Payne to form his own band in 1933 .
