Humphrey Lyttelton And His Band - Humph At The Conway FLAC album

This one went into the hit parade and made Humph famous just at the time when the Trad Jazz boom was under way but for what ever reason one will never know Humph was already showing his tendancy towards more mainstream approach (by the inclusion of the sax into his front line) financially this was a huge blunder on his part coz everyone. Anyway that is history Humph made great contributions to Jazz: Trad, Mainstream, Modern and Swing. Furthermore his contributions in cartoonery (is that a word) in which he worked with Trao (Wally Fawkes), calligraphy he was elected president of the Society for Italic Handwriting, radio broadcasting the BBC gave him his own BBC series, The Best of Jazz, which he helmed for over four decades. Six years later, he was also appointed host of the spoof panel game I'm Sorry, I Haven't a Clue, a program notorious for its abundance of double entendres.

This was Humph's 1954 band at its very best. The set wis ras recorded at one of the band's regular monthly concerts at Conway Hall, Red Lion Square, London. The venue was somewhat unusual in that it was not primarily intended for music,but was normally used by an organisation called the South Place Ethical Society, who held meetings and lectures there. The recording was produed by none other than George (later Sir George) Martin, who was destined to become famous for his association with the Beatles. The soloists are all at the top of their form. Humph's intro on I Double Dare You sets the mood perfectly. Wally Plays the Blues is one of the most relaxed and charming clarinet solos ever, while Johnny Parker's original, Feline Stomp, marks him out as one of the most exciting of trad pianists.

Humphrey Richard Adeane Lyttelton (23 May 1921 – 25 April 2008), also known as Humph, was an English jazz musician and broadcaster from the aristocratic Lyttelton family. Having taught himself the trumpet at school, Lyttelton became a popular figure of the trad jazz revival, leading his own eight-piece band, which recorded a hit single, "Bad Penny Blues", in 1956.

Almost seven-years before, in 1954, Lyttelton recorded his first ever live album at the Conway Hall in London's Red Lion Square - released as Humph at the Conway, it stands as one of the era's most enjoyable records, but it was also very much a child of its own time. By 1961, much had changed: a new band, a new approach, a new instrumental lineup and a newfound appreciation for kicking the old trad rules into touch, and blasting out a 'freer' form (if not exactly free form) jazz instead
