Humphrey Lyttelton And His Band – Here’s Humph!

A cornerstone of British traditional jazz, Here’s Humph! captures Humphrey Lyttelton at a time when his band was helping define the UK’s post-war jazz revival. Known for his crisp trumpet tone, sharp arrangements, and playful yet deeply rooted approach to New Orleans and swing traditions, Lyttelton delivers a set that balances reverence with personality throughout.

This collection brings together a finely chosen set of jazz standards and New Orleans classics, interpreted with the band’s trademark warmth, swing, and tight ensemble interplay. From smoky blues to upbeat rags, the record showcases the group’s ability to move effortlessly between styles while keeping things irresistibly engaging.

A must-have for fans of British jazz history and classic small-combo swing, this is Humphrey Lyttelton in full command - swinging, subtle, and always in the pocket.
