171 KEN COLYER ATT STAR JAZZ BAND THE BEST OF BRITISH JAZZ VOLUME 7 Roll Along Prairie
Moon (a) • Savoy Blues (a) • Willie The Weeper (a) • Texas Moaner (a) • Jazzin’ Baby Blues (a) • Bill Bailey
(a) • Steamboat Stomp (b) • King Porter Stomp (b) • A Good Man Is Hard To Find (b) • Chattanooga Stomp

Rag (d) • Postman’s Lament (d) • Colorado Trail (d) • 1919 March (d) (Artist: a- Graham Stewart Seven; b- Mike Daniels Delta Jazz Band; c- Cy
Laurie Band; d- Ken Colyer All Star Jazz Band) [1956•1958•1960•1973] There have been many enquiries asking about other recordings by
the Graham Stewart Seven and Upbeat is happy to include more of that excelelnt band on this CD. Mike Daniels is an enduring story and features
John Barnes who has developed a world-class reputation. Here the band is in a Jelly Roll mood. Cy Laurie’s music offered here presents one of the
best-ever line-ups assembled by the legnedary leader. INtersetingly the band features Graham Stewart in an
earlier incarnation. These four Colyer tracks offer a line-up following Ken’s withdraeaal from full-time band
leading and demonstrate how successful Ken was in training fresh msuicians and old friends for his friends
for his enduring mission of playing New Orleans music. This music reveals a renewed vitality from Ken’s
golden autumn. [Item Code: 64097 CD: $19.00]
172 HUMPHREY LYTTELTON THE BEST OF BRITISH JAZZ VOLUME 8 Maryland (a) • Ruritanian

Me Sha Wabble (a) • Dallas Blues (a) • It’s A Thing (a) • Moten Swing (a) • Beale Street Blues (a) • Knee

(c) (Artist: a- Humphrey Lyttelton And His Band; b- Sandy Brown Band; c- Mick Mulligan With George
Melly) [1954/1957-1958] Humphrey Lyttelton’s representation on disc is varied and many-faceted. The
recent re-issues of his earlier work from the Parlophone label to the enduring success of Humph ‘n’ Helen
both now represented on his own Calligraph label consistently demonstrate his interest in all good jazz and
his own special studio assembly of players featuring Kenny Davern which swings comfortably between the
traditional and mainstream. The success story continues, always interesting, always musical. The cult interest in Sandy Brown sustains particularly
amongst reed-playing musicians. His special gift was in his ability to maintain his own highly personal sound. Perhaps his professional interest as
an acoustical architect had a bearing on this. Tenor saxman Red Price from The Ted Heath Band guests on
track 14 & 15. The Mulligan band with George Melly is very popular on disc today and George is still busy
as an entertainer and singer now backed by John Chilton and his Feetwarmers. [Item Code: 64098 CD:

178 PETE ALLEN JAZZ BAND RUNNING WILD Cornet Chop Suey • I Wish I Could Shimmy Like My
Sister Kate (a) • A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square (a) • That’s A Plenty • C’est Si Bon (b) • Sweet Sue
Just You • The Right Key But The Wrong Keyhole (a) • Running Wild (a) • Sweet Substitute (a) • Hindustain
• Bechet’s Walk • It Ain’t No Sin To Take Off Your Skin And Dance Around In Your Bones (c) • West End
Blues (d) • See If I Care (a) • I Wanna Be Like You (a) (d) (Vocalist: a- Susan Valliant Speer; b- Brian Price;
c- Dave Moorwood; d- Pete Allen) (Personnel: Ben Cummings, Richard Leach, Geoff Hull) Voted in top ten
best albums of 2002 Jazz Review. The group Paul Allen leads on this new Upbeat CD may be his best ever.
Its spritely rhythm section (led by banjo-guitarist•singer Dave Moorwood and underpinned by the powerful
pulsating bass of Geoff Hull and locked-on drums of Brian Price) knows exactly how to propel a band without
driving it through the wall. And its front-line is a perfectly balanced unit, distinguished both by Richard
Leach’s broad-toned trombone and elegantly poised trumpet of an outstanding new talent, the pure-toned
singer Susan Valliant Speer who turns from Red-Hot Mama to tender balladeer, song by song, with remarkable sophisticated skill. Brian Price,
along with the ensemble, lends un peu d’humeur a la Freberg to ‘C’est si bon’. And then of course there’s
the leader, playing his heart out - and warming all of ours - with every bar. Good music and good humour
abound on this new album; proof positive that - as long as they belong to Pete Allen and his band - the new
jazz century’s in the very best of Traditional hands. [Item Code: 64298 CD: $19.00]
