  • Hi

    How great was that!

    My old mate Randy Colville, Humph of course and Johnny Barnes who I saw recently at the Jersey Jazz festival.

    I know the other faces but not the names...sorry.

    RIP Humph and Randy.

    ( I spoke to his widow Joan today in fact)

    Lovely stuff.

    Barry Watson.

  • Yes, you're right "how great that was"

  • That has to be the greatest interpretation of Joplin's Elite Syncopations I've ever heard.

  • Interesting idea to recreate the famous Buddy Bolden photograph. This photo even has the guitar player playing left handed like in the original and Humphrey Lyttelton holding his cornet in the palm of his hand like Bolden does in the original photograph.
