Humphrey Lyttelton "Best of Jazz"  Don't be BLUE!

Welcome to a NEW Decade, for those with vision, this year could become noteworthy as one where we all can see "Clearer" with vision rated as "2020"(maybe)

News on the "Best of Jazz" front:-

Coming to the end of the 2006 archive soon, just a few more shows to go, then, we move back to 2005 which sadly, is even more fragmented than 2006 was. What you see (or rather hear) is what you get, that's all there is, some shows are shortened, intro's missing etc, all down to being late to switch on, or simply, not being there ! Throughout the 2000's I spent some months in Australia most years and had to rely on friends to do recording, hence the large  gaps in the collection, additional to the occasional 3 months sabbaticals taken by Humph, Talking of that there will be a break early this year as I am again visiting Australia.

Keep watching for more, back soon.. G..
