Humphrey Lyttelton "Best of Jazz" 26th Feb 2007




Keeping it "Local"
Some well-known muso's on their own








All good things come to an end they say, and this is the LAST of the 2007 shows I have recordings for, so this familiar picture will be the last on here unless more shows are uncovered.

However, this is NOT the end of the road, as mentioned in a previous post, I have more shows from earlier years, some as far back as late 1990's but not almost complete sets as before.

This show starts off with examples from musicians in a band forming their own groups, keeping it local refers to Humphs band and the magic multi-sax player Karen Sharp.

Open up on Karen Sharp
Mantran's singer lives on a Blue moon
Quadrille from Japan
Dizzy Electrification of Tunisia
Gordon Beck 7 Steps
Jeff Darrohn on his own
Alex Welsh untitled fragments
Gee Baby... Oh Yeah
Taylor Mixes Freternity

Latest News: An almost complete copy of the 19th February 2007 show is now posted See August 2020 entry.
