New Humph Album, Never Before Available.
Resisting the obvious by not bringing out a Best Of collection, Calligraph Records has launched the Humph Live series. The first, of what will be a collection of hitherto undiscovered live material, was recorded by Allan Gilmour at theTrent Bridge Hotel in Nottingham and captures the Humph band, supported by blues and gospel legend, Marie Knight. Her stunning vocals inspire the Lyttelton 8 piece band to produce, what Humph would always recall as being, one of the band's most memorable performances. This is a must for Humph fans and for anyone wanting to experience the atmosphere and energy of jazz in the UK, circa 1958.
