Jack Hylton (born John Greenhalgh Hilton; 2 July 1892 – 29 January 1965) was an English pianist, composer, band leader and impresario. Hylton rose to prominence during the British dance band era, being referred as the "British King of Jazz" and "The Ambassador of British Dance Music" by the musical press, not only because of his popularity which extended throughout the world, but also for his use of unusually large ensembles for the time and his polished arrangements. He mostly retired from the music industry after 1940, becoming a successful theatrical businessman until his death.

  • Le groupe de Jack Hylton (2 juillet 1892 à Bolton - 29 janvier 1965) fut célèbre dans toute l'Europe au moment de l'entre-deux guerres. La fantaisie des musiciens (bien que moins débridée que celle des Comedian harmonists allemands), le rythme des chansons (beaucoup de fox-trots) et leur inventivité, ainsi que leurs très nombreuses tournées sur le continent, y furent pour beaucoup. La vaste production musicale du groupe, malgré ses remaniements incessants, aussi. Maurice Chevalier chanta un pot-pourri de ses succès accompagné par ce groupe, le temps d'un enregistrement, le 28 novembre 1930. Le groupe eut plusieurs chanteurs, dont le plus célèbre fut J. Pat O'Malley. Celui-ci mena en parallèle une carrière solo, interprétant plus de 400 chansons en tout, et quelques autres prestations : Mary Poppins, La Quatrième Dimension (Souvenir d'enfance, Le Fugitif, etc.). Son style joyeux inspira largement en France celui de l'orchestre de Ray Ventura. (fr)
  • Jack Hylton, egentligen John Greenhalgh Hilton, född 2 juli 1892 i i Bolton i Lancashire, död 29 januari 1965 i Marylebone i London, var en brittisk pianist, orkesterledare och teaterproducent. Hylton ledde en av 1920- och 1930-talens absolut främsta och populäraste brittiska dans- och showorkestrar, och kan liknas vid en brittisk Paul Whiteman. Sedan i princip alla hans musiker 1940 kallats in till tjänstgöring under andra världskriget lade Hylton dock ned sin orkester och sadlade i stället om till en lika framgångsrik karriär som producent inom främst teater men även TV.
