Ian played on a part time basis with most of the 'traddies' during the 1950s before joining Humphrey Lyttelton in 1957. He made his home in Switzerland in the late 1970s working with local groups and his own Quartet. He died in Zurich in 1992.

Ian Armit - Thank you very much, his talents were a bit overlooked in the days when he was with Humph. But his playing here is brilliant, I think this version of "Black and White Blues" would stand comparison with almost any piano blues. Thanks BritJazz.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see musicians like Ian being brought to the fore. One of the things BritJazz is all about.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
Many thanks for Ian Armit. Brings back some memories of when Ian played in a trad band in Bedford in the 50s. And I saw him many times with Humphrey L especially when his band accompanied Jimmy Rushing on a tour of Britain. Jimmy really dig Ian's playing.
