Contributed by Barton Bill and Gonzo.

You will probably have noticed this album has been posted here before. All credit to aroonie for his excellent addition to our offerings and for starting this off. However, we now have a new rip from the LP, supplied by Barton Bill, by none other than Gonzo. You may have noticed the latter's absence for a while - as has been announced elsewhere, he recently lost his wife but he is getting back into the swing of things and keeping busy. Condolences to Gonzo from the BritJazz team. BJ

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.

0101 Humphrey Lyttelton [I Play As I Please] FLAC 9(40.33)

Contributed by Gonzo

Review of CD by Dave Thompson
Topped and tailed by four bonus tracks, this is an otherwise straightforward (and certainly long-awaited) reissue of Humphrey Lyttelton's best-known and most all-pervasively influential album, the 1957 set that he titled, fittingly, after the first volume of his own autobiography Widely regarded among the most adventurous of all the players bound up in the British trad boom of the mid- to late '50s, Lyttelton had already broken any number of seemingly inviolate rules by the time he teamed with producer Denis Preston to cut this set -- including the addition of a saxophone and the omission of the banjo Now it was time to push even further In terms of numerical strength, three bands appear on this album -- the seven-piece Humphrey Lyttelton Band, an expanded 12-man big band, and the so-called Humphrey Lyttelton Paseo Band, a nine-piece that eschewed horns for flutes, then added a riot of percussion to the mix It's a heady blend that had traditionalists wringing their hands in despair when the album first appeared, but time (and, of course, the eventual acceptance of many of the ideas Lyttelton first posited) readily vindicates the album's audacity For collectors, meanwhile, the set is bolstered by both sides of two singles recorded by the regular Lyttelton Band around the same time as I Play As I Please came together, the self-explanatory "Dixie Theme" and the sultry "Blues in the Afternoon."

0098 Humphrey Lyttelton [Humphrey Lyttelton And His Band] FLAC 4(11.50)

Contributed by bluebird, who writes:-
Most people associate the Tempo label with those fabulously expensive early British Modern Jazz records - elusive and now mostly destined for collectors in Japan.
A copy of Tubby Hayes 'After Hours' fetched £1352 on ebay recently.
But Tempo had an earlier history of issuing Traditional Jazz and in fact it comprised a good half of their catalogue. Here is the very first ep on the Tempo label - EXA 1 featuring Humphrey Lyttelton and his Band recorded in March 1955. Sleeve notes are non-existent but there is a useful summary of the eps issued on the label. Not many 'modern' ones there are there?
Whilst the music has a certain period charm it is hard to believe that I once was an avid follower of this particular genre, spending many hours in sweaty, dark caverns, drinking warm beer wearing scratchy woolly jumpers and trying to identify the good looking girls in the gloom. The rhythm sections are pretty rough here or is it just the recording balance?
Dave Carey, who plays drums on 2 tracks, also ran a record shop in Streatham, London back in the 1970s and I seem to remember that it opened on only a few days per week, maybe even half days. The shop was the size of the average bathroom and it held a maximum of three people at any one time. Any other customers had to queue outside until someone left the shop.
It was the original Aladdin's Cave - there were no shelves or boxes to browse through. You had to know what you wanted then tell Dave who disappeared into some back room to then emerge clutching the treasure. His success rate was very high.  If you were a regular then he brought out a stack of lps for you to look at.
One for nostalgia lovers.
