Bob Erdos, London, Summer of 1950 - speaking of Humphrey Lyttelton "I had never before heard a band where ensemble playing and adherence to the melody were paramount. And what melodies! There was Humphrey Lyttelton leading a group of outsanding musicians playing extremely appealing multi-thematic tunes (some of which were his originals) arranged in ways that included exciting "breaks" by one or two instruments that tied together different sections of the melody." "The utilization of two clarinets in the ensemble and as interchange duets was new to me. I was hooked and eternally indebted to Humph."
You'll get hooked too. One hour and 19 minutes of fabulous Traditional
