0219 Humphrey Lyttelton [Humph Plays Standards] FLAC 10(37.12)

















Contributed by aroonie, who writes:-
In my opinion his best band ever with a great sax section of Tony Coe, Jimmy Skidmore and Joe Temperley.  To me Skid was THE greatest of the Hawkins inspired tenor players (of the Brits, that is) and here he proves it on Body and Soul.  But there is not a weak track.

Later contribution from Barton Bill and Gonzo. - See 0223

0216 Johnny Dankworth [And His Orchestra] FLAC 4(10.11)

















Contributed by bluebird, who comments:-
Some Dankworth big band tracks from 1955/56 are heard here. There were not too many well known names in the band at this time, the best known perhaps, being drummer Kenny Clare.
Later bands in the early/mid 1960s attracted many big jazz names.
