Customer Reviews

Excellent British Jazz
This double CD set is a reissue of two 10 inch and two full length albums all from the 1950's when Lyttelton had a superb group of players including Tony Coe, Jimmy Skidmore and Joe Temperley.

Humph in Perspective (1958) and Humph Swings Out (1956) are made up of tremendous tracks which fall between trad and mainstream. Kath Meets Humph (1957) features Kathy Stobart playing some really nice tenor solos. Triple Exposure (1959) is an eclectic mix of styles, perhaps too much so, and may be Lyttelton trying to prove that he was his own man and not going to be constrained by the `trad' label.

There are sleeve notes written by Humph himself and the remastered sound is excellent.
