5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible value for some classic tracks, 25 Sep 2003
60 tracks for £10 is amazing, the 3 CD's cover from 1950 through 1957 and contain some great music. The bands all have a character of their own, not just copying previous styles or people, but playing interesting tunes with skill and imagination with each musician being readily identifiable.
I had forgotten how much like Omer Simeon, Wally Fawkes could be and the sheer drive of Humphrey Lyttleton's trumpet lead.
This is a really great collection of swinging music with tremendous vitality and variety.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible Stuff, 11 Dec 2004
By Robert D Norman (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
I grew up with this music in England in the late 40's, 50's and 60's before emigrating to Canada in 1967. I brought most of it with me (on 78's, 10 and 12 inch LP's, EP's and singles.) Some I left behind for fear of breakage (78's) and limited space. This is the essence of the greatest traditional Jazz coming out of Britain...ever! In fact, during the late 40's and early 50's, Jazz in the US was losing popularity to some degree. It is thought that Britain's growing entheusiasm for Trad Jazz, and the upcoming young players like Humph, actually, and fortunately kept it alive. Humphrey Lyttleton in my book (And Louis Armstrong's book by the way) was, and still is the best trumpet player that Britain has ever produced. The rest of the globe would also be hard pressed to equal or better it. This CD covers nearly all of the great tracks (that I still have on records,) and will enable me to still listen to them without worrying about damage to the originals. My favourite??? "Cake Walkin' Babies"... Don't think I have heard of anything that has the cristpness, drive, and back-ground rythme as this one..It lifts the soul. Play it when you feel down and you will be on top of the world.
I first heard it at Humph's Jazz club in the basement of 100 Oxford street..(you remeber!)....and so glad that it was cut on record, and now remastered on CD..... Oh, I haven't bought it yet, but will when I sort out some of the other ones to go with it. (like Parlaphone Vol I....)I've just discovered this website I'm glad to say....... Enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Into the Music, 19 Nov 2006
By Richard "Alice Collector" (Blackpool England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
First off I'm no jazz fan anymore than John Lennon was-yet he once named Bad Penny Blues as the only jazz he could listen to.In 1968 this 1956 instrumental was the main influence behind Lady Madonna.
Me I like instrumentals from the Golden Age-Duane Eddy,Sandy Nelson,Link Wray,the Ventures etc. And Bad Penny Blues is to my mind the greatest instrumental EVER.
Hrearing this at the time you never wanted it to end-that beautifully dry percussion sound,the muted trumpet,the piano riff-you could fall into it.
The disc was produced by somebody called Dennis Lansdowne who had a studio and it was engineered by a young Joe Meek a few years away from his own take on pop music.In his biog it mentions things he added to it which were not to the jazzmans liking but it went out anyway as it was thank God
Lyttleton is a British institution-a very clever guy who was once a cartoonist and managed to keep the same wife.Makes a guy feel inferior but there you go.
He should have been knighted long ago
