This is third of the Cornucopia series and features Humph's last recordings. The Cornucopia series was a project very dear to Humph's heart. He oversaw all the tracks, directing and fine tuning the dynamics and solo orders. He always said that the band he had at any particular moment,was his favourite. However, there is reason to believe that this one really was! Humph can be heard on two of the tracks and his 'count-ins' have also been kept. Humph had very high standards which the Band is determined to maintain. The album features Tony Fisher, who had the difficult job of completing the tracks on which Humph had not been recorded. Humph had always pencilled Tony in for this and would have been delighted with his contribution. The album also features guests Karen Sharp and Louise Parker.
We all miss Humph, and the Band continue to play his compositions and keep his music alive. I think he would have been very proud of this album.
