Ones of a Kind George Chisholm, Stephane Grappelli

Humphrey Lyttelton "Best of Jazz 8th December 1997

One new show discovered, reports death of George Chisholm 6/12/97

and Stephane Grappelli 1/12/97 

music includes tributes to both.

1. Alex Welsh Band with Humph, Bruce Turner, and George Chisholm

2. Swedish Jazz band (unrecognisable name)

I was in two minds about uploading this session, the quality of the DAT recovery is poor

but apart from the tributes, there are some other rare recordings from Humph's archive.

Recorded from FM radio in the U.K. onto D.A.T, For those that don't know how DAT sounds when it goes bad check +8 to +9 mins in
