Humphrey Lyttelton and his Band 1954 High Society.wmv

Humphrey Lyttelton and his Band 1954 High Society: in concert at the The Royal Festival Hall, London, and resulted in release of an LP "Jazz at the Royal Festival Hall" High Society is a multi-strain melody, originally a march copyrighted in April 1901 by Porter Steele, which has become a traditional jazz standard. The piccolo obligatto is not found in Steele's first version of the song; it appears to originate in an orchestration by Robert Recker from later in 1901. In New Orleans, Louisiana, Alphonse Picou adapted the piccolo part into a clarinet variation, sometimes considered one of the earliest documented jazz solos. The Picou variations became standard in New Orleans jazz (unusual in a form that values improvization); many traditional jazz clarinetists from the generation just after Picou until today will copy or do a close paraphrase of Picou's solo, sometimes followed by their own improvisations on a second chorus. The Band: Humphrey Humph Lyttelton Tp; Wally Trog Fawkes Cl; Bruce Turner Asx & SSx; John Picard Tb; Johnny Parker Pn; Freddy Legon Gt/Bj; Micky Ashman Bs; George Hoppy Hopkinson Dr/WB.
