Humphrey Lyttelton "Best of Jazz" postings to come

I have located some more sets of these interesting, educational programs, some from 2006,2005,2004 and a few from 2003, these will be posted in reverse order so when the set is completed it will present a sequence in time.

I also have instrument specific shows where Humph picks out a specific instrument and presents examples of it's use by various musicians, these shows are not dated so cannot be slotted into the main sequence of shows.

"Humph"

Humphrey Lyttelton & BEST OF JAZZ shows

For nearly 40 years "Humph" presented his own selection of new & old jazz, up-coming artists and a wealth of jazz knowledge in a hour long weekly program broadcast on BBC radio 2, Monday evening at 8.00 was the place to listen for many jazz fans, to hear the latest and best of current jazz issues, plus historic jazz with in-depth details of the players, the bands and their influences.

Having been lucky to acquire a large collection of these programs from the collection of a deceased friend, I would like to present a few from his collection. There is not much in the way of information that I can impart, most is already well known, so I offer these 12 year old radio shows as like listening through a time tunnel to a window in the past. 

" The Best of Jazz"

Working back in time, from the year 2008, the year "humph" died here is the show dated 28th January 2008.

Format is MP3 you can play this direct from Dropbox or download it to your computer, or even add it to your Dropbox.

Technical details: FM radio recorded to DAT tape, played to an ASUS Xonar sound card optically,  edited with Sound Forge, wave files converted to MP3 with LAME encoder.
