The Temperance Seven é uma banda britânica de jazz formada no final dos anos 50 por Paul McDowell (trombone), Philip Harrison (banjo) e Brian Innes. O grupo eventualmente evoluiu para uma formação de nove integrantes, especializando-se em um estilo leve e bem humorado que evocava a música das décadas de 1920 e 1930. Obteve grande êxito nos anos 60 com singles como "You're Driving Me Crazy" (que chegou ao topo das paradas musicais no Reino Unido) e "Pasadena" (4° lugar nas paradas). Após várias mudanças na formação, a banda continua a apresentar-se até os dias de hoje."Temperance Seven" - Somerset County Gazette, 30 de agosto de 2009
