{"product_id":"humphrey-lyttelton-just-about-as-good-as-it-gets-8717278721422","title":"Just About As Good As It Gets","description":"With a background somewhat different to the majority of jazz musicians, Humphrey Lyttelton has nevertheless succeeded on a grand scale in carving out a huge legacy for himself worldwide as a fine trumpeter, band leader, arranger, author, broadcaster and raconteur. Born at Eton College in 1921, the son of an Eton master, Lyttelton would later attend the College himself, where he formed a band and purchased his first trumpet in 1936. After Eton he went to Sandhurst, forming a band there and then served in World War 2. After the War, 'Humph' began to explore the London Jazz Club scene, finally joining George Webb's Dixielanders in 1947. By 1948 he was running his own band and had made his first recordings. In the following six years he would lead the 'Hottest' British band on the Jazz revival scene, achieving massive popularity both in Britain and across Europe. This double CD is the definitive collection of Humphrey Lyttleton's best jazz work from the immediate post war period up to 1958. Undoubtedly the greatest Trad - Jazz period in the UK.","brand":"Smith \u0026 Co.
