Our Take

HUMPHREY LYTTELTON AND HIS TRADITIONAL JAZZ BAND take us on a delightful trip down memory lane with Conway Hall Revisited, a cheeky little album that's as charming as it is swinging. Lyttelton's trumpet skills are as sharp as ever, leading the band through a series of toe-tapping numbers that will have you reaching for your dancing shoes in no time.

From the opening track "When The Saints Go Marching In," it's clear that this is a group of musicians who know how to have a good time. The joy and energy that emanate from each performance are infectious, reminding us all why we fell in love with traditional jazz in the first place.

The standout track has to be "Tiger Rag," a rollicking rendition that showcases the band's tight-knit rapport and undeniable musical prowess. The interplay between Lyttelton and his bandmates is a joy to behold, as they bounce off each other with the kind of ease that only comes from years of playing together.

But it's not all about the fast-paced numbers - tracks like "St. James Infirmary Blues" provide a welcome change of pace, allowing Lyttelton to show off his emotional depth and restraint as a performer. It's a testament to his skill as a bandleader that he can seamlessly transition between styles and moods without missing a beat.

In the end, Conway Hall Revisited is a must-listen for any fan of traditional jazz. It's a joyful celebration of a bygone era, brought to life by a group of musicians who clearly love what they do. So pour yourself a glass of whisky, put on your best dancing shoes, and let Humphrey Lyttelton and his band sweep you off your feet.
