Bad Penny Blues - Humphrey Lyttleton 1985.<br />Next to collecting 78 rpm records in the fifties by Armstrong, Morton, Oliver and Bix Beiderbecke, to name a few, and I had just started to play trumpet myself, there was this bandleader from England who even for us , far away in the Netherlands, made a lot of darn fine jazz recordings. Of course it was Humphrey Lyttleton, and one of his topsongs was the “Bad Penny Blues”. <br />In this clip, now in 1985, Humph is celebrating his 35th year as bandleader and brings us this blues again.<br />With him in the band are Johnny Barnes saxophone and Roy Williams trombone. It is good to hear that Bad Penny again and Humph still does a superb job.
